Tuesday, April 20, Noon – 1:00 PM Shade Garden: 10-Minute University™ Noon-Time Chat This free class requires advanced registration. Please click here.
Shade is a luxury for some gardeners and a challenge for others. If you fall into the latter group, don’t give up. A thriving garden in the shade is possible!
Whether you want to spruce up a shady backyard patio, add color to a shaded border or bring life to a woodland path, a well-thought-out design and carefully selected plants are essential.
In this class we will learn strategies to brighten up these areas with plants and non-living elements, meet a wide palette of shade-loving plants that will flourish in filtered light and deep shade, and develop a plan for proper care (watering, fertilizing, etc.) to sustain your new creation.
Our speaker Laura Eyer is an Oregon State University Extension Master Gardener who teaches for the award-winning 10-Minute University™ Program. She designed gardens for others in the past and now gardens at home and on neighbors’ properties, usually with their consent.
Wednesday, April 21, Noon – 1:00 PM Attracting Pollinators: 10-Minute University™ Noon-Time Chat This free class requires advanced registration. Please click here.
Did you know one-third of the food we eat, including blueberries, apples, almonds and watermelon, will only bear fruit if pollinated by an animal such as bees and birds? Did you know over 75% of the world’s plants need animal pollination to set seed?
Pollinators are essential to our quality of life – both in the variety of food we eat and in the diversity of plants we enjoy.
The trend in pollinator populations is not encouraging, but gardeners can do a lot to help! Learn how to become a super great host to common pollinators in our area.
This class will highlight hummingbirds, butterflies and bees. Discover how they live, what they need, and how to transform your home garden into a hospitable refuge for them.
Our speaker Sherry Sheng is an Oregon State University Extension Master Gardener who teaches for the award-winning 10-Minute University™ Program. She gardens at home, at a community garden, and manages a pollinator garden at a State Park.
