• Apparel Store - Grand Opening

    The Garden Group has set up an Apparel Store hosted by Premier Graphx in Roseville. This Apparel Store was set up for you to purchase apparel with the Club’s logo. The club does not receive any proceeds from the purchases in this store. You can wear your shirt, hat, or apron at Club events or anytime. There is clothing for both men and women and this site is just like any other online store (e.g., Macy’s), with a “Cart” and the ability to pay online.

    For more information: click Apparel Store on the Main Menu above.

  • Unfortunately, No Speaker for August

    As we move into another month of social distancing, it is unknown when Kilaga Springs Lodge will again be open for our monthly meetings.  In the meantime, the Garden Group will continue to post garden related videos on our website.
     
    We can't have any meetings until the County/State allow the lodges to reopen. The Sports Center is still officially closed, so we have no gatherings planned. No meetings, no Table Talk, pending COVID facility closures reopening in the future and allowing gatherings of large groups again.

  • Master Gardener's Videos filmed for Harvest Day now available for viewing

    In case you missed the August 1 (Virtual) Harvest Day, you still have time to view all the helpful new videos filmed by the UCCE Sacramento County Master Gardeners. 
     
    The 21 videos are available now on the master gardeners' new YouTube channel. See the whole list here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClm9vPOH__UWg0Lwlp5vVNQ/videos
     
    The topics range all over the Fair Oaks Horticulture Center, from the compost area to the Water Efficient Landscape, from the vegetable garden to the orchard. 
     
    One of the immediately useful videos features master gardener Bill Black showing how to clean and sharpen pruning shears. Also, Dan Vierria explains how soil solarization can eliminate soil-borne pests from a planting bed, a method that works beautifully with our summer heat. 
     
    "What's Wrong With My Tomatoes?" with Joeana Carpenter should be required viewing for any and all new vegetable gardeners; she focuses on environmental (aka abiotic) factors.  And Andi MacDonald offers a concise guide to growing veggies year round in containers.
     
    Several videos focus on specific pruning chores: woody sages, rosemary, ornamental grasses, and summer pruning of fruit trees. There are also tips on setting up a compost bin, putting netting over blueberries, growing herbs in containers and identifying pests on grapevines. And plenty more.
     
    Videos are also available from the two Harvest Day speakers, Karrie Reid and Ed Laivo.
