Supervisor Wolf’s Green Gardening Day!
Save Money. Save Water. Go Green.
Second District Supervisor Janet Wolf will host a Green Gardening Day at La Sumida Nursery, 165. S. Patterson Ave. in Goleta on Saturday, March 7, 2009 from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM. The public is welcome to attend this free event.
The program will include two presentations: At 12:00 PM, Garden Wise Guys, Owen Dell & Billy Goodnick will instruct on “The Curious Case of …Right Plant, Right Place;” At 1:00 PM Santa Barbara County Compost Guru, Jeff Simeon, will present “Compost Magic: The New How To.”
Green gardening experts will be on site to answer individual questions. In addition, experts with information tables relating to water conservation, pesticide use, and sustainable gardening practices and programs will be on hand. Please join Supervisor Wolf along with Santa Barbara County, Goleta Water District, The City of Goleta, The City of Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara City College Environmental Horticulture Department, and the Green Gardener Program of Santa Barbara County for a fun informational day.
At the start of the spring planting season, Supervisor Wolf’s program is designed to bring practical information to her constituents in the Second District and throughout the South Coast. Supervisor Wolf says: “We each can do our part to conserve energy and water and reduce our pesticide use. Starting with our landscaping is an excellent way to contribute to the collective effort to transform the Central Coast into a sustainable community.”
The day includes give-aways and raffles including a copy of Owen Dell’s new book, Sustainable Landscaping for Dummies, and a compost bin from Santa Barbara County among many other surprises.
