CNPS Garden Ambassador Late Spring Garden Visit
Patricia Carpenter’s Late Spring Garden Ramble
Sunday, May 18 9 am – 2 pm RAIN or SHINE
You are invited to visit Patricia Carpenter’s California native plant garden on a typical late spring day. The garden is a secluded 1-acre wild escape on a slough located west of Davis. Patricia has been working on the garden since 2005, and it now features about 400 species and cultivars of California native plants. Visit Patricia’s Garden Ambassador profile to learn more about this garden, access a map, view a plant list, and take a virtual tour!
Highlights:
- Late spring color. The desert area begins to come alive
- The many geophytes in the garden should be blooming.
- Observe seasonal maintenance, pruning, seed collecting, and plant propagation.
Stop by any time on Sunday, May 18th between 9:00 am and 2:00 pm RAIN or SHINE for the self-guided garden ramble. Garden maps are available for use onsite.
There will be an optional short orientation and Q&A gathering with Patricia at 10:00 am and 12 noon. We will meet near the check-in table.
Although masks are optional, please respect distancing and mask wearing of other visitors. Sturdy shoes advised. No dogs, please. A composting toilet is available. You are welcome to bring a lunch or snack. The non-native garden will be open to view as well.
The Miridae Mobile Plant Nursery will be here again.
