Saturday in the Garden – November 2^nd –

• We have a great event lined up for you with Larry Saltzman leading a round-table discussion of the best BARE-ROOT FRUIT TREES to plant in Santa Barbara
• This will be the last day of our wonderful fall plant sale
• And we’re hosting a group of student volunteers from UCSB

 

This week – in addition to taking care of the usual garden tasks, we have some special projects lined up for the student group joining us to volunteer this week, including the expansion of our banana-growing capacity.
