THREE COMMUNITY GARDEN DAYS AT THREE LOCATIONS

•  Friday, May 31, from 4 p.m. - 7 p.m. at the UC Davis Tahoe City Field Station, hosted by the UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center
•  Saturday, June 1, from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. at the Truckee Community Garden, hosted by Slow Food Lake Tahoe
•  Saturday, June 8, from 11a.m. - 2 p.m. at South Lake Tahoe Tallac Historic Estate hosted by the Great Basin Outdoor Institute

Gardening in the Tahoe-Truckee area is both challenging and rewarding.  And there is a community of fellow gardeners in the area that can relate to your problems and successes.

This community event is both an open house afternoon/evening educational event hosted by UC Davis TERC as part of an event series in collaboration with the UCCE Lake Tahoe Master Gardeners and Slow Food Lake Tahoe. Get a behind the scenes look at TERC research at the Tahoe City Field Station, ask research-related questions to TERC staff, and participate in fun, engaging experiments and activities with the TERC education team. 

Local gardeners participating in the GYO varietal phenology project can pick up all of the year’s seedlings on this day, tour the Tahoe City Demonstration Garden, learn watershed-friendly gardening techniques, find out tips for growing in the challenging high elevation Tahoe-Truckee area, and ask specific questions of presenters or any garden-related question of master gardeners.

Register for the event and purchase your seedlings here (options include peas & beans, leafy greens, tomatoes & peppers, edible flowers, squash & pumpkins, onions & leeks, potatoes, root crops, and microgreens):
