Placer County Master Gardeners offer free online workshop

They’re colorful, easy care and of course love growing in California; they’re natives!

Naturally adapted to seasonal weather including summer heat, California’s native plants also are excellent choices for water-wise landscaping.

But how do you incorporate “wildflowers” into suburban gardens? Let the Placer County Master Gardeners show you during a free Zoom workshop.

Set for 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 21, “Gardening with Native Plants” will be filled with inspiration, tips and examples of what native plants work where. UC Cooperative Extension Master Gardeners of Placer County will offer their first-hand experiences as well as answer questions.

This online workshop is available to interested gardeners throughout Northern California. No advance registration is necessary.
