One of our most popular events, the Seed and Cutting Exchange arrives just in time to sow seeds and take advantage of the upcoming rains (fingers crossed!). Our speaker will discuss growing annuals, such as desert bluebells, from seed and how to keep our gardens in color all year long. He’ll also talk about using a cold frame to get plants started in late fall and keep them growing all winter.
