Do you love growing vegetables? Would you like to try your hand at starting a vegetable garden? Spring is around the corner, so get your planting tools out!
The Garden Odyssey club is having a plant sale coming up this month! They will be at all the TVE Park Days selling tomatoes, basil, squash, sunflowers, and more. Profits from the sale will be used as fees for the club’s field trip to the Filoli Historic House and Garden. Any extra profits will be donated to the East Bay Regional Parks.
The dates for the plant sale are:
- TVE Livermore Park Day – Tuesday March 22 2022 1:30 PM
- TVE Walnut Creek/Lafayette Park Day – Thursday, March 24 2022 1:30 PM
- TVE San Ramon Park Day – Friday March 25 2022 12:00 PM
All plants were grown by the members of the Garden Odyssey using the best available quality soil and seeds, and with techniques learned from a UC Master Gardener. The Garden Odyssey would like to thank Alden Lane Nursery in Livermore and Sloat Garden Center in Concord for their generous donation of supplies.
The Garden Odyssey is a group of eight children and their parents. They visit a public garden once a month together. Past visits have included:
- Blake Gardens in Kensington where they met with the horticulturist to learn about the history of the garden
- Rodgers Ranch Heritage Center in Pleasant Hill where they met with the farmer to learn about the activities at the ranch
- Regional Parks Botanic Garden at Tilden where they learned about the California native plants
- St. Mary’s College in Moraga where they met with the groundskeeper who gave them a tour of the college grounds and talked to them about the plants and trees on the campus and their care.
During their visit to Blake Garden, the members volunteered to make Caterpillar Crossing signs for the garden paths.
Please come and check out the sale! The Garden Odyssey hopes to see you there!
