Why do so many plants and gardens fail to thrive despite our best efforts and intentions? Soil health and irrigation are too often overlooked in our garden planning and maintenance, and can feel overwhelming to take on. Healthy soil creates healthy plants, yet what is healthy soil and how do we create it? Irrigation is essential to any garden or landscape, but how does it all work? Do we till, or can we choose not to? Different plant categories such as vegetables, annuals, perennials, shrubs, and trees each require different approaches to soil development and watering.

All set to original music by our Gypsy-Klezmer orchestra, the Oddjob Ensemble.

What goes in recycling here in Sonoma? Recyclable items include all plastic containers, cans and bottles, cardboard, and paper clean of food waste.

Berkeley, will discuss his research on native bees in urban environments, talk about their lives and share some spectacular, eye-opening photos of bees and their habitats.
