Greetings!


Tis the season...the season for giving! I wanted to highlight that we have a great opportunity to make something for people in senior living communities this Saturday between 11am - 3pm. You'll be able to make a DIY coaster, learn to hand sew an Angel ornament, or write a card to help shine some light on their day. Completed projects will be delivered by our Library team to our residents at senior living independent, assisted living, and memory care facilities here in Monterey. All materials will be provided, but we need people to add their personal and creative touches to make a unique gift. We hope that you can join in on the fun!


Warmly~

Brian

Third Workshop: Choosing Plants 

What are the best plants to include in your garden? Which plants

should you avoid? How do you get the plants in the ground and

then, how do you keep them healthy? During this workshop,

we will share a number of resources that will help you find plants

that match your garden’s conditions and the functions

you want the plants to serve.

The topics for the two remaining workshops are:

December 21, 2024: Choosing Plants

January 18, 2025: Protecting Wildlife and Environment


The UC Master Gardener Program is a statewide program of
