Thinking
about making some changes to your landscape? Perhaps eliminating your
water-guzzling lawn, replacing it with water-wise native plants or
planting a vegetable garden? “Timely Tips for Fall Gardeners,” a seminar
sponsored by the Master Gardener Association of San Diego County, may be
just the thing. Six classes for beginner and experienced gardeners will
explain how to make the most of San Diego's fall gardening season. When
the weather cools in October, you'll be ready to plant. Topics include
“Bye-Bye Grass” taught by San Diego horticulturist and Homescape
contributor Nan Sterman, “Go Native” by native plant expert Gene Ratcliffe
of Tree of Life Nursery and “Renee's Fall Garden – Sweet peas and the
Second Season Kitchen Garden” by Renee Shepherd of Renee's Garden Seeds.
Del Mar author Pat Welsh will share tips for improving soil in “Poor
Pitiful Soil.” “Feng Shui for the Garden” is taught by consultant Cathleen
McCandless and “Selection, Planting and Care of Landscape Palms” is taught
by palm expert Donald Hodel.
Seminar hours are 8:30 a.m. to 3:50 p.m.,
at the Marina Village Conference Center, 1936 Quivira Way, San Diego. Each
class is $15, parking is free. Information and registration is available
