50. Hit the annual garden festival

Sat Apr 21, 2018, 08:01 PM

Apr 2018

Went to 'Green Scene' which is a garden event at the Fullerton Arboretum in SoCal. It was a warm one, high 80s here today, even in Long Beach. Found a couple of native plants for the garden--a milkweed that I don't have, and a small salvia (chia). My front yard is all CA natives, so it's fun to find things to plug into the spaces left. Also got some good info from an avocado specialist and bought a little house for native bees to use for their eggs. Then sat under a big tree and ate some lunch before I left. The event is nice as it's not too big to see in an hour or so but many good vendors.

Now just catching up on news online. When it cools off a little I'll go out and see where I can plant the purchases. A nice Saturday!
