Time for Spring Planting – We Can Help

If it’s spring, it’s time to think about planting. There is a host of workshops to help you get started.

Have you ever wanted to compost, but weren’t where to begin? Orange County Master Gardeners will teach you traditional composting and vermicomposting (using worms). The event will be held outside in the composting demonstration area of the South Coast Research and Extension Center, 7601 Irvine Boulevard, Irvine. Workshops are limited to 20 participants and held on Wednesdays, March 29 or April 26, 3-5 p.m.

In honor of Earth Day, Plants for the Planet Workshop is scheduled for Thursday, April 13, 6-8 p.m. at the IRWD headquarters office, 15600 Sand Canyon Avenue, Irvine. Select the right plants for your landscape. Experts will discuss California native and non-native drought tolerant species, seasonal water needs, and cultural care tips for these plants.
