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 at www.mastergardenerssandiego.org or call (858) 694-2860.
