This month’s field trip was to Woodlake Botanical Garden for an update on the ongoing changes to the garden since the roadwork had begun. The guided tour took us along its 1.2 mile path with stops to taste some jujubees, guavas, and longan; admire the bananas growing along the pathway; and ended with a tour of the relocated succulent garden.

Happy Pollinator Week! Although pollinator conservation is a big task, it all begins with each of us adopting four simple steps: growing pollinator-friendly flowers, providing nest sites and shelter, avoiding pesticides, and spreading the word. With these core values, you can create conditions to support the entire life cycle of pollinators in any location.

Go Native! is an annual event at Kaweah Oaks Preserve that celebrates Native American heritage. There were several activities including basket weaving, making reed ducks, a drum circle, and various vendors. Our Master Gardeners were there with a spin-the-wheel activity and a craft, making suncatchers using contact paper and pressed flowers. Turn up the volume to listen to the sounds of the drum circle.

Visiting Woodlake Botanical Garden is always a treat, but visiting during their Berry Tasting Festival elevates the experience. Our Master Gardeners were there with a kid’s activity of planting sunflower seeds and an information booth. All along the path were tasting stations: raspberries and blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, citrus, stone fruits, and a table where participants could select up to 4 seedlings. This is a must-do if you’re in the area next year.
