ESSENTIAL SUMMER PRUNING AND PREPARING YOUR GARDEN FOR AUTUMN

Please join Marin Master Gardeners Elizabeth Finley and Lenore Ruckman in the Under Oaks Garden at Falkirk as they show us how summer pruning is essential to the health of our plants and that it is an important step in getting our gardens ready for the autumn season.  Sounds a little crazy to be thinking of fall in the heat of late July, but that's really the time to be putting in place a number of processes in the garden in preparation for what lies ahead, pruning being the most obvious. The others? Come and find out.  Walk through the gardens with Elizabeth and Lenore examining what needs to be done.  

Bring gloves, your garden hat and your hand pruners.

Snacks and coffee provided.  $5 donation

You are invited to stay and work in the gardens with the Marin Master Gardeners after the workshop.

When parking in the public lot next to Falkirk please read the signs to avoid ticketing.  There is a 2 hr. limit in the area closest to the street and unlimited parking in back of the lot on the week-end.
