Open gardens are informal FREE events where you roam the gardens, watch what we are doing, see what we are growing and ask questions. Bring samples of your problem plants, mystery pests and questions to the “Ask the Master Gardeners” information table.  Get one-on-one advice based on the most recent research-based sustainable practices.

Winter’s delights originate outdoors with seeds, ornamental berries and citrus fruit.

Listen to mini-talks and talk with Master Gardeners among the various demonstration garden areas.

• Orchard: Learn about keeping pests away, why wait to prune, and planting new trees.
• Berries: Ask about the tastiest varieties to plant.
• Compost: Keep it out of your green waste can and learn how to make your own compost. 
• Herbs: See how and why herbs need to be trimmed before spring growth.
• WEL: Water-efficient landscape is a perfect choice to replace a lawn or add to your landscape.
• Vegetables: Learn why to cover cool-weather crops with protective cloth. 
• Vineyard: Look for signs of bud growth on grape stems. Ask about pruning methods.

It is a wonderful reminder of tasks to keep your garden healthy and thriving all year. A how-to guide on creating a habitat garden is featured this year advising you on plants to attract pollinators, birds and beneficial insects. Proceeds from sales help support the Master Gardeners of Sacramento County community projects.
