Join the UC Master Gardeners of Monterey & Santa Cruz Counties for this special summer workshop!

Earth-friendly Gardening is Master Gardeners’ advice for creating sustainable landscapes that benefit the broader environment and make things easier for the gardener. By adopting these practices, you can grow a healthy garden that is beautiful, in sync with nature, and less prone to problems.  

How healthy is your soil?

For this workshop, you will need to bring 1 cup of soil collected from your garden sealed in a Ziploc bag.  During the workshop, we will analyze the different soil samples and check them for drainage.  We will look at potential soil amendments and how those amendments can improve the health of your soil.  Finally, we’ll discuss the living parts of your soil, how to encourage their growth and why they are essential for healthy gardens.  

Space is limited. Registration is required.

There are even more upcoming gardening workshops!

What are the best plants to include in your garden? Which plants should you avoid?  How do you get the plants in the ground and then, how do you keep them healthy? During this workshop, we will share a number of resources that will help you find plants that match your garden’s conditions and the function you want the plant to serve.

The Live Oak Annex is located at 979 17th Ave.
