Visit Master Gardeners at the Sonoma County Fair

Jul 22, 2014

The annual Sonoma County Fair is upon us and the Sonoma County Master Gardeners are participating with their Demonstration Garden.  This will be the 16th year that SCMG has participated in the county fair.  Their booth will be once again located on the outdoor patio south of the famous Hall of Flowers. 

The primary focus is on water wise gardening, including drought tolerant plants, drought tolerant raised bed vegetable and herb gardening, permeable hardscape, and blending in the fairs 60's theme.  We will be incorporating a vermiculture and compost bin as well as a rain catchment system. The Sonoma County Master Gardeners Food Gardening Specialists will also be on hand to disseminate information. 

Master Gardener docents will be available on-site from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m.

Sonoma County Fair, July 24 - August 10, closed Mondays
