Hello, looks like an in-person event, is there a cost for Redbud members? Do I just show up or where to register?
Hi Paul, For the Jennifer Jewell event March 11, tickets are $20. The link for tickets is https://jenniferjewell_gv.eventbrite.com/
That’s also in the Redbud page for this event. This is our first paid event is maybe five years or so. The speaker is very special, quite well-known, and the event is co-sponsored with Master Gardeners of Nevada County. Tickets will also be available at the door before the program. We are now doing a mix of in-person and online events. The May 17 program (See Redbud Events page) is free and in-person. Hope you can come to one or both of these!
This is an in-person event (though we are planning to try also doing Zoom; if that works, it would be hybrid). This and almost all Redbud events are free. It is open to all, both members and the general public. Just show up (and say “hi”)!
