The Santa Clara County micro-climate allows gardeners to stretch the limits of our favorite plants and enjoy gardening even through the winter. In fact, there are many varieties of edible plants, herbs and flowers that thrive in our colder weather. Join the Parks and Rec Staff Community Garden Coordinator as he will be removing old plants, preparing the soil and planting fall/winter seeds and transplants. Come to help plant and learn about the fall/winter planting process. This event is open to all ages. Tools and adult sized gloves are available. Please come in closed-toed shoes and bring sun protection.
No pre-registration is needed for this free event. Questions? Visit SantaClaraCA.gov/communitygarden or call 408-615-3743.
