Alemany Natives Workshop: Unlocking the Magic of California Native Plants in your Garden!

Saturday June 25, 10 am - 12 pm

Instructor: Melissa Mason, San Mateo Master Gardener

This IN-PERSON WORKSHOP will be hosted at Alemany Farm.

Designed with the home gardener in mind, in this workshop we will explore the beauty of California native plants, discuss how important they are for our pollinators and wildlife, and discover how to add California native plants to existing home gardens. We hope attendees will be inspired by an informational session and tour of the Alemany Natives Garden. Please bring your questions or ideas to get the most out of our time together on the farm.

In 2019 initiated and led the San Carlos Native Plant Habitat Garden Project where Master Gardeners planted 80 species of native plants in an 8000 sq ft park area in San Carlos. Currently, Melissa and her team are researching and developing “Plant Notes” for each plant and making them available to the public online.
