    Open gardens

    We have three open gardens coming in the near future: April 19th, May 24th and May 31st. For addresses, see the April newsletter.

    Saturday, April 19: 10AM-4PM
    NATE HARDKOR, SACRAMENTO

    Nate Hardkor is a fairly new member and has only been to one meeting, so far. He is holding an Open Garden on Saturday 4/19 and he is inviting people from our Club to come on over. He says his yard looked like a dirt lot four years ago. You can see from the
    photo that it has come a long way in the last four years! Nate has stage 4 cancer and says he has not been able to keep up with all of the weeding, but with the good weather and the help of some friends he’s catching up. Stop by this Saturday and check out Nate’s garden!

    Nate says come on over anytime after 10AM, just text him when you arrive. Although Saturday the 19th is the official Open Garden, Nate wants you to know your welcome to stop on by any day if Saturday doesn’t work for you ( please text ahead of time if you
    come on a day other than Saturday 4/19). The sooner the better if you want to see everything in bloom! Nate Hardkor’s phone number for those who intend to visit his Open Garden: 612-296-0655

    Saturday, May 24: 9AM-2PM
    DAVE ROBERTS, SACRAMENTO

    Dave Roberts will be having another Open Garden this year. If you’ve been there before, you know there are great things to look forward to in Dave’s garden.

    If you haven’t been to Dave’s, don’t miss your chance this year!

    Saturday, May 31: 10AM-2PM
    AMIE FRISCH, COLOMA

    Amie Frisch hosted an Open Garden last year and will give us all another opportunity to see her greenhouse amidst the oak studded countryside. Her place is a few minutes past Coloma in Garden Valley and it’s well worth the drive.

  • Gerhard Bock Open Garden, March 1

    Gerhard Bock Open Garden, March 1

    Gerhard Bock will open his garden in Davis on Saturday, March 1, from 10 am to 2 pm. Gerhard has a large collection of aloes, and many will be in bloom. There are plenty of other things to see, too: agaves, cacti, and companion plants from around the world. Check out Gerhard’s blog for a sneak peek: https://www.succulentsandmore.com/

    Email Gerhard at gerhard@succulentsandmore.com to RSVP and get the address. Or, if you know where he lives, just show up.
