Water-wise Gardening, Vermicomposting

This fascinating garden integrates passive and active water retention methods that support beds of native perennials, shrubs and select non-native plants.

Enjoy Free Garden Lectures

As a special feature, Certified Yavapai County Master Gardener Karen Kumar will present three educational garden lectures (approximately 30 minutes each). Attend one or all three! 

9 a.m. - Fall and Winter Gardening
You can grow vegetables in the Fall & Winter in the Verde Valley.  Learn what to plant in the
cool season, how to prepare your garden and protect plants and soil from the elements.

11 a.m. - 10 Steps to a Successful Vegetable Garden
Gardening with vegetables can be fun and can provide delicious and highly nutritious fresh
food. A few plants or a large plot will give rewarding experiences for both young and old. Learn
how to successfully get your garden started or keep an established one going strong.

1 p.m. - Bugs and Birds
Insects and birds are deeply connected in a vital, co-evolved relationship. Bugs serve as a
protein-dense food source for many birds—especially during migration and nesting season,
while birds act as essential natural pest control and pollinators for the environment.

Have a specific garden problem? A Master Gardener Information Table will also be on-site all day to help answer your plaguing gardening questions.
