Got garden questions? These experts have the answers you need

Garden issues don’t wait until the weekend to pop up (and Saturdays in April tend to be pretty busy).

If you’ve got questions and time on Wednesday morning, then this event is for you!

The Sacramento County master gardeners will host their spring midweek Open Garden Day at Fair Oaks Horticulture Center on Wednesday, April 9. Admission and parking are free.

Master gardeners will be available on site from 9 a.m. to noon, rain or shine. Bring samples of your problem plants or pests (in zipped plastic bags) and questions to the “Ask the Master Gardeners” information table.

Open Garden Day is a chance to watch master gardeners in action as they tend demonstration gardeners at the Hort Center. These experts readily share details of their garden actions while offering visitors advice so they can replicate those lessons at home.

Mini talks at this Open Garden will cover fruit thinning and “summer” pruning, how to plant potatoes, choosing ornamental shrubs and perennials to plant, and growing herbs in containers.

And yes, they’ll offer advice on growing tomatoes, too!
Fair Oaks Horticulture Center is located at 11549 Fair Oaks Blvd., Fair Oaks.
