   Trip to Ruth Bancroft Gardens & Heather FarmTell a Friend!
 
      Join Horticulture Instructor Andria Bersi as she leads a tour to Walnut Creek to view the Gardens at Heather Farms and the Ruth Bancroft Gardens. The first stop is the Gardens at Heather Farm, which is a living museum, an outdoor classroom, and a public garden. There are more than 20 demonstration gardens and learning sites. You will go on a docent-led tour that demonstrates low-maintenance and water-conserving plants, along with environmentally friendly pest management methods and stunning landscape techniques and designs. After the tour, you'll have some free time to roam around the gardens on your own.

Then it's time for lunch. Enjoy your own sack lunch in a nearby public park with an exquisite fountain, then move on to the Ruth Bancroft Garden. The mission of the garden is to preserve this exceptional example of garden design and to continue to develop its collection of water-conserving plants for the education and enjoyment of the public. You will again go on a docent-led tour where you'll see numerous examples of cacti, succulents, and other water-conserving plants in beautiful settings. There will also be a public sculpture exhibit throughout the garden during your visit, which should make the trip even more enjoyable. You'll have some free time after the tour, and you can take the time to purchase from the selection of plants for sale before boarding the bus for the ride home.

Bring your own sack lunch. Water will be provided.

   Water-Wise GardeningTell a Friend!
 
      Every garden can benefit from slight changes to achieve water efficiency via soil conditioning, mulches, irrigation, and plant choices while still maintaining a very "green," blooming, healthy space.

During the last hour of class, you will apply the knowledge you've gained by putting it to use in the campus demonstration garden.

   Urban GardeningTell a Friend!
 
      Just because you live in the city, and even if you live in an apartment, it doesn't mean you have to be surrounded by blacktop and concrete. Join this fun, hands-on urban gardening workshop and learn how to be part of a "gardening community," join the "green" environmental movement, and grow veggies, learn about composting, and create a worm farm!

This workshop is designed to set you on the road to successful urban gardening. You'll start with the basics of gardening: soil, containers, potting, plant choices, sunlight, water, and pest control. This workshop will include some "hands-on" work, so come prepared to learn and dig in!
