Curious about succulent gardening? This workshop can help

Succulents became the leading garden trend during the pandemic, and the enthusiasm for these astonishing, low-water plants has not waned.

If you have ever wanted to grow a succulent garden — or just want to know more about these plants — the Placer County master gardeners have a workshop this weekend, Saturday, July 19, that is ideal.

The free workshop runs from 2 to 3 p.m. at the Lincoln Library, 485 Twelve Bridges Road in Lincoln.

“The amazing diversity and versatility of succulents will be discussed by examining the ‘Who, What, Why, When and How’ of growing succulents,” the master gardeners say.

“You will learn what succulents ‘really are,’ why you’ll love to grow them, which succulent varieties do well in our area, how to grow and propagate succulents and when to plant and propagate succulents.”

The Placer master gardeners offer workshops all summer, as well as staffing “Ask the Master Gardener” booths at the Roseville Fountains, Auburn, Fowler Ranch and Sun City Lincoln farmers markets.
