Gardening with East Bay Native Plants

Saturday, October 26, 2002 This will be a hands on workshop held in a Berkeley garden that is built from local native plants. We will touch on many aspects of what is sometimes called "restoration gardening": philosophy, ecology, design, local plant sources, and home propagation. The class is led by two local landscape gardeners. Lyn Talkovsky has been an East Bay landscape gardener for ten years and specializes in local native plants. Glen Schneider, besides gardening, is writing a Natural History Field Guide to the East Bay. Class size will be limited to fifteen.** Preregistration is required.** Held offsite. Location: Ecology Center, 2530 San Pablo Avenue, near Dwight Way, Berkeley. Time: 10 am - 2 pm. Cost: $15 Ecology Center members, $25 others, no one turned away for lack of funds.
