Healthy Gardens

Join Master Gardeners Diane Kenworthy and Marsha Anderson as they cover a range of integrated pest management-related topics such as healthy soils, beneficial insects, and reduced-risk pesticides.

You'll also take a walking tour of Sonoma Garden Park! Learn from the Master Gardeners as they search out and identify real-life examples of the issues faced by today's gardeners.

This event is limited to 20 participants.

Please arrive 15 minutes before the workshop to complete the sign-in process. We recommend that you bring a hat, water, wear walking shoes, and dress in comfortable layers!

Sonoma Garden Park is a 6.1 acre public park, working farm, and educational resource. The land was donated to the city of Sonoma in the 1970's by Pauline Bond, a retired schoolteacher and avid gardener. The Sonoma Ecology Center developed and has been maintaining the Garden Park since 1993.
