Planning a New Garden? Re-thinking Your Old Garden?




Planning a new garden can be a daunting task.  There are so many things to think about – and so many good ideas.   It’s hard to know where to begin.   Fortunately, our sister blog, Mother Nature’s Backyard, has something that can help.   Their series ‘Planning Your New California Garden’, which began in July 2013, takes you step by step through the garden design process.   See the first posting at: http://mother-natures-backyard.blogspot.com/2013/07/designing-your-new-california-garden-1.html

It's time for Fall Garden Crafts



 
Fall pruning and Fall garden crafts go hand in hand.  Learn to how to prune and take home some trimmings at our Pruning workshops.  Use your native plant trimming to create lovely hand-dyed yarn and cloth (http://mother-natures-backyard.blogspot.com/2013/10/garden-crafts-colors-of-california-dyes.html).  Then come to a crafts class to get inspired (see Calendar page at left).
