Join us April 27th!!!! Lavender is a versatile and resilient plant that adds beauty, fragrance, and function to any landscape. As a bonus, it is perfectly suited to the Northern California Mediterranean climate.

This presentation will focus on how to successfully grow lavender, from selecting the right variety for your needs to pruning and fertilizing for long-term health and abundant blooms. 🌿

🌿✨ Join us for an inspiring presentation with Nik Dyer of Permaculture Artisans!

Nik will introduce the ecological approach behind Permaculture Artisans and share how regenerative landscape design, installation, and maintenance can transform the way we care for our land. Through real-life examples, he’ll show how this alternative method can increase food yields, manage water more sustainably, restore habitat, and even reduce fire risk, all while benefiting homeowners and the broader community.

You’ll also learn the fundamentals of permaculture design and walk away with practical tips to become a better steward of the land you call home. 🌎💚

Elizabeth and Paul Kaiser have spent 18 years developing their regenerative farming system at Singing Frogs Farm, including 16 years of no-till practices, and Elizabeth will share the story of their journey. By working with nature to create ecological balance—using perennial plantings and hedgerows that attract beneficial insects to manage pests—the farm demonstrates a highly productive, sustainable approach that leaves visitors inspired and amazed. 🌱 Doors open at 12:30, general meeting at 1pm, and presentation starts at 2pm.

​
Jani will be showing us different design elements in the garden focused on form, foliage and texture. She will be bringing plants to show us examples of plantings utilizing these elements. This will also be instructional in terms of types of plants and their behaviors. Conifers and grasses will be showcased as a part of this lecture. This is an opportunity to put some of her design principles to use in your own landscape. Jani will be selling the plants that she brings for the Program!
