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.

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.

Everyone has something to hide. Whether it’s wheelbarrow storage, trashcans, utility boxes, or neighbors, there is something in every garden we’d rather not see. Pat Sullivan will show you some appealing and practical solutions for getting things out of sight. Topics such as foundations, walls, fences, and play areas will be included too.
Pat has been a horticulture professional for over 30 years. A graduate in horticulture from Texas A&M, she has been a plant pathologist, field manager of vineyard and orchards, Master Gardener instructor, teacher of plant science, and landscape designer.

Presented by HAS Plant Sale Organizers
Free to all at the East Library, 5550 E. Union Blvd.
You may have been to the Plant Sale before, but you may learn something new here as Barb Colvin tells about the trees and shrubs she’s ordered from Fort Collins. Shirley Gloss-Soler, the Tomato Lady, will talk about the herbs and tomatoes you will find, and Pam Hamamoto will tell us about the Plant Select program and introduce us to the 2011 selections. We’ll also answer any questions about the sale itself! (If you’re volunteering at the sale, this is a terrific opportunity to brush up on how it all works and what will be available.)
