Join Ron Horii for a tour of the UC Master Gardeners’ Martial Cottle Park Demonstration Gardens and Community Education Center. The 4-acre parce l within the 287-acre park contains native plant, pollinator and drought- t olerant gardens.
Volunteers will be available to answer questions and will give us a tour of their native plant garden. Learn about gardening te chniques, plant species, composting, water- wise irrigation and more. After wards, we can see the 900- foot long native plant hedgerow planted along th e edge of the park.
Later options are to see Our City Forest’s parcel with its native plant garden, see the park’s visitor center with its histo ric and nature displays or have a picnic in the park. For those who want to get some exercise, the park has 3 miles of paved, flat trails.
Bring a hat, as there’s not much shade. Water and restrooms are available within walking distance.
Space is limited. No drop-ins. RSVP is required on Meetup: www.meetup.com/California-Native-Plant-Society-Sa nta-Clara-Valley-Chapter. Families are welcome.
