Sherwood Demonstration Garden in Placerville hosts community event for all ages

October ranks among the best times to garden in the Sierra foothills (and other parts of the Sacramento region). And more people now are interested in learning about gardening than ever before.
Put those two facts together and you get “Fall into Gardening,” a free community event at Sherwood Demonstration Garden in Placerville.
Set for 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Oct 1, “Fall into Gardening” is hosted by the UC Cooperative Extension Master Gardeners of El Dorado County. The morning’s events include activities and advice in all 16 demonstration gardens tended at Sherwood. Expect gardening fun for the whole family with classes every 30 minutes, garden tours and crafts booths for all ages as well as all experience levels.
Parking and admission are free. Master gardeners will be on hand to discuss your garden and landscape questions.
Because of warm soil and (usually) mild days, October is the best time for major landscape renovations. Shrubs, trees and perennials benefit from fall transplanting so they can get established before the stress of summer heat next year.
Featured at this public event will be advice on growing cool-season vegetables as well as drought-tolerant gardening. Plan and plant now to save water for years to come.
Sherwood Garden is located at 6699 Campus Drive, Placerville, on the campus of Folsom Lake College’s El Dorado Center.
