It all started out a few months ago when one of my fellow UC Master Gardeners Tina P said let's do a succulent event for the public. I said hmm – ok let's do it! Now, here we are a few months later, after months of planning, when we will hold a "Succulent Extravaganza” for the public. It's been a busy few months! All the monies we raise go towards UC Master Gardeners - Solano County public activities and we always love to meet with our fellow Solano County residents to talk “gardening”!

Succulents are so very popular these days – easy to grow and most use very little water. You see them everywhere! If you love succulents, like many of us, do, here is what is happening at the event:

- Classes: classes on succulents that will be given by three “succulent savvy” Master Gardeners at 9 am – succulent propagation; 10 am – succulent soil and 11 am- succulent care.

- Gardening Information: Master Gardener Information table where you can get gardening questions answered.

- Succulent plant sale: including succulent dish gardens, hanging succulent plants, lots of beautiful, interesting 2, 4, 5 and 6-inch potted succulents and succulent-themed garden and other items crafted by Master Gardeners.

- Silent Auction: A fabulous potting bench; gardening gift container and a beautiful succulent dish garden.

All of that plus we have free drawings for potted succulents!

We hope you can join us for this fun event!  Sherry Richards-co coordinator of the Succulent Extravaganza.
