Go Native! is an annual event at Kaweah Oaks Preserve that celebrates Native American heritage. There were several activities including basket weaving, making reed ducks, a drum circle, and various vendors. Our Master Gardeners were there with a spin-the-wheel activity and a craft, making suncatchers using contact paper and pressed flowers. Turn up the volume to listen to the sounds of the drum circle.

Visiting Woodlake Botanical Garden is always a treat, but visiting during their Berry Tasting Festival elevates the experience. Our Master Gardeners were there with a kid’s activity of planting sunflower seeds and an information booth. All along the path were tasting stations: raspberries and blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, citrus, stone fruits, and a table where participants could select up to 4 seedlings. This is a must-do if you’re in the area next year.

Yesterday’s field trip was to Burlington Rose Nursery in Visalia, CA, run by Burling Leong. Burling worked with Ralph Moore at his Sequoia Nursery. After his nursery closed, Burling continued with her own nursery. Many of Ralph Moore’s miniatures can be found here. We were greeted with a very nice lunch followed by a talk given by Burling and representatives of Hearst Castle. The renovations of the rose gardens at Hearst Castle is a project Burling has been involved with for several years. The goal being to preserve the old roses grown on the grounds. She then gave us a tour of her nursery.
