| Livermore-Amador Valley Garden Club: Serving the Tri-Valley Area |
Steve Campbell, long time nurserymen, will discuss and demonstrate pruning fruit trees for size control, dormant, and spraying. He will also offer pruning tips for other shrubs and trees. NOW IS THE TIME! He'll discuss how to grow lots of different varieties in a small area. He is currently working for the wholesale Hollandia Nursery and he will talk about new plants from Hollandia, with samples and on-screen images.
Steve asked to start his program at 6:00 PM. He wants to be able to answer your questions during the break. Our business meeting will follow the break.
Plant share: We'd like to resurrect the Plant Share, which used to be part of our meetings. Feel free to bring a sample of something interesting from your garden for the plant share.
See above for details.
any event attendees ask when and where the Club meets, Club activities, cost of dues, and how to join. Our Club volunteers stand behind a provided table and pass out seed packets, new brochures, and Club applications.
We'll be starting out the new year with a demonstration of grape pruning by Graham Stott. He is back by popular demand and will review methods he has discussed with us in the past. We will then move to the barn and give some pointers for successful seed starting. We'll have some seeds and potting mix to get you started. Please bring your six packs or trays. We hope you will plan to come so we can wish you a Happy Growing year!
