A Gardener's Gathering, March 1

I’ll be one of the speakers at the Placer County Master Gardeners’ symposium called “A Gardener’s Gathering,” 9 a.m.-4 p.m. March 1 at the Blue Goose Fruit Shed, 3550 Taylor Road in downtown Loomis. The cost is $25, and the deadline for registration is Feb. 25.

Other speakers are: Marcia Braga, Sierra College environmental horticulture chair; Patrick Rodysill, owner of Garden Faire; Ed Laivo, from the Dave Wilson Nursery; Ken Menzer, certified arborist and owner of Abacus; and Chet Blackburn from the California Native Plant Society. It looks to be a fun, educational day.

For information, call the master gardeners at (530) 889-7388.
