Presented by Kim Gravestock
Free to all at the East Library, 5550 E. Union Blvd.
Kim Gravestock, a well known local garden designer and bee master, will talk about fall bulbs for bringing spring joy. She’ll also tell us about the special storage treatment that the tender bulbs we plant in spring need. Bulbs will soon be arriving in local garden centers (and we’ll have paperwhites available at the Annual Meeting & Dinner), so come learn how to make the best of them from Kim.

Presented by Pam Hamamoto
Free to all at the East Library, 5550 E. Union Blvd.
Late summer is here. Is your garden waning at this point, or is it blooming gloriously? Pam will share some excellent choices for late summer color in our gardens – tough, hardy, colorful plants that can also take our extreme weather changes at this time of year (rain, no rain, hail, early near freezes, etc, etc, etc). A list by color, height, and water needs will be provided for some dynamite plants. Come be inspired and take away ideas for additions to your late summer garden.
