Pam Peirce                       Saturday, May 29

10:30 – 12:30                              $31

Mystified by why your garden is warmer in summer than your friend’s in the next town over? Or why you get fog and they don’t? Learn the causes and nature of our region’s microclimates, and how to use this knowledge to grow a successful year-round food or flower garden. You will also learn to study the microclimates within your garden. Learn successful plant selection as well as tricks for placing plants to take advantage of variations in heat and cold, sunlight and shadow. Useful handouts included. Pam Peirce is the author of our classic regional gardening book Golden Gate Gardening and a columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle. The brand new third edition of Golden Gate Gardening (which now includes a planting calendar for the San Jose region) will be available for purchase and signing by the author.
