Class Schedule

Took this photo the other evening. That's smoke from the Baldy fire in the Gila hazing the sunset. While climate change causes disastrous extremes in the rest of the country--think tornados, flooding, blizzards, hurricanes--we in the southwest are seeing wildfires, last year's season the worst in New Mexico history. So with streaming eyes, I decided to repeat Landscaping For Firesafety as our first class this summer. We're switching the date to Friday evening (Sundays are a scramble for us with family), 6-7 PM, since we're open late anyway.  The composting class was set earlier. So here's the revised schedule:

June 10th, 1-3 PM. Composting with guest speaker, Master Gardener, Ralph Anderson

June 15th, 6-7 PM. Landscaping for Fire Safety.

June 29th, 6-7 PM. Soils (More Interesting Than You Would Believe!?)

July 13th, 6-7 PM. Gardening For (and despite) Wildlife

July 27th, 6-7 PM. Caring For Trees & Shrubs.

August 10th, 6-7 PM. Seedstarting--Tips, Tricks, & Timing

August 25th, 1-2 PM. Wintering Over. (This is during ArtFest, and the big, end of season plant sale).

Bring lawn chairs, and anything else needed for personal comfort. The talks will be in the new Tree & Shrub area behind the shop, so hopefully the street noise won't be the factor that it has been in the past. No more reverent pause as the bikers roar by on their way to Madrid!
