September 15, 2016 (El Cajon) - The Water Conservation Garden celebrates the fall planting season with the 2016 Fall Plantstravaganza! on Saturday, November 5 from 10am to 2pm, with a special members-only preview sale from 9am to 10am. Garden memberships may be purchased at the gate.
The event aims to help San Diego gardeners make the most of the fall planting season with a plentiful mix of gardening experts and plants offered by local growers and nurseries. Visitors can attend workshops on gardening-related topics led by experts, plus visit exhibits staffed by knowledgeable Garden docents and guest exhibitors to learn about water-saving gardening, edible gardening, compost-making, gardening for butterflies and more.
Partner water agencies will join the fun to reveal a range of moneysaving rebate opportunities for residents replacing thirsty landscapes with those that save water and are beautiful too. Personalized attention can be found at the "Ask the Designers" area for in-depth landscape design advice. For just $20 for 20 minutes, a landscape designer or architect will assess a visitor's landscape and goals (through photos, diagrams, or dialogue) and recommend plants and design ideas that are a custom fit. And, for anyone still working on their holiday shopping list, The Garden's gift shop will be overflowing with unique nature-inspired treasures that are perfect for gift giving.
Reservations for the ever-popular "Ask the Designer" consultations are recommended and can be made by calling
