Join us Saturday, June 20 for a free workshop on growing citrus and avocado trees in the home garden.

We’ll discuss best practices for growing citrus and avocado trees, look at the unique features of different avocado varieties, and cover common pest and disease problems for both citrus and avocados.

A plant sale will be happening before and during the workshop, featuring drought-tolerant plants suited to our Mediterranean climate and grown by our plant propagation team. Featured plants include white sage, red monkey flower, ‘Pozo Blue’ sage, Verbena ‘De La Mina,’ Ceanothus ‘Yankee Point,’ ‘Iceberg’ rose, and Penstemon heterophyllus. Proceeds support our program and future community education.

A lively group of 14 joined volunteers Betty and Beverly for a Seed Starting Talk at the Nipomo Senior Center.

All were interested in learning and eager to get their hands dirty starting ornamental and edible vegetable seeds. There were several “I didn’t know that” comments as Betty and Beverly explained how to sanitize starter containers, when and how to plant seeds, and how to know when to transplant seedlings.

The group chose the seeds they wanted to grow and spent the rest of the time using what they learned. Each attendee went home with extra seeds from the package they chose.

Thank you Renee's Garden for the generous seed packet donation, which continues to support workshops and educational projects across our program.

Congratulations to our newest UC Master Gardeners!

The 2026 training class has officially wrapped up, and we celebrated with a graduation at the Garden of the Seven Sisters Demonstration Garden.

Since January, this group has been studying and practicing everything from propagation and integrated pest management to soil health, plant problem diagnosis, and public education.

We are excited to welcome them into the program as they begin sharing their knowledge with the public across San Luis Obispo County.
