Dave Sanchez, owner of Guacamole Farms, will be coming to Sun City to discuss avocados! The presentation itself, as always, will be 2pm at Presentation Hall in the Kilaga Springs lodge.

He will discuss how to grow avocado trees in the Sacramento Valley so they will not die from the cold weather, and will produce avocados in just a few years. He will be discussing the varieties that thrive, their growing characteristics, and issues unique to the avocado tree. He will explain the uniqueness of the avocado flower, and how they are pollinated.

Dave Sanchez has 45 years of experience in the nursery business. He is a California Certified Nurseryman, and worked for Dam Nursery in Folsom, Haight Nursery in Roseville, and Color Spot Nursery for many years. He now grows avocado trees and owns his own avocado farm in Loomis, with 100 avocado trees producing avocados.

The garden group will be having Brown Bag Sales and Master Gardener's Pre-Program at 1:30pm. Door prizes are available.
