Got garden questions? These experts can find answers

Get ready for spring with expert advice from Sacramento County master gardeners.

On Saturday, Feb. 11, the master gardeners will host Open Garden Day at the Fair Oaks Horticulture Center in Fair Oaks Park – rain or shine. Admission and parking are free.

From 9 a.m. to noon, watch master gardeners as they tend to mid-winter tasks and prepare for spring planting and rapid growth. They’ll also host several hands-on demonstrations including:

* Berries: Learn how blueberries and cane berries are pruned for the upcoming harvest season.

* Compost: Building, turning and harvesting compost. Visit the Worm Bin, too.

* Herbs: See Herbs flourishing in the cooler weather.

* Orchard: Bare branches in the orchard show proper pruning cuts.

* Vineyard: See canes getting ready to bud. Learn pruning basics.

* Vegetables: Cool-season vegetables are on display in raised beds.

* WEL: The water-efficient landscape will be full of overwintering beneficial insects ready for pests.
