Karen has curated a list especially for our valley and will show you how you can amend to help open up clay soils and a useful array of plant options that will thrive in the clay. Registration fee $15 each or $25 per couple.
April 25, 10:00am, Gardening for Pollinators—Join Kristina Lefever of Rogue Valley Pollination Project as she broadens your horizons beyond the honey bee and into the fascinating world of pollinators: from native bees to hummingbirds and beyond.

We will also have some easy to start plant collections of pollinator-themed plants available. Registration fee $15 each or $25 per couple.
