UC Master Gardeners 11th Annual FREE Smart Garden Fair

On Saturday, May 13, the UC Master Gardeners of Monterey Bay will present their annual FREE Smart Gardening Fair from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Jewell Park in Pacific Grove. A colorful marketplace of “all things gardening”, the event aims to inspire and educate local gardeners of all levels, with special focus on sustainable and water-wise practices. Participants will enjoy a wide range of informative and enjoyable presentations, demonstrations and vendor booths.

Each hour from 10 am to 3 pm, local gardening professionals will give educational presentations on popular gardening topics, while hands-on gardening demonstrations will be given continually throughout the day. Between these educational activities, participants will want to browse the booths of community organizations and gardening-related businesses offering information, goods and services to help in the garden. A Children’s Activity Booth and food vendors complete the array of activities.
