The Gentle Art of Espalier:
Growing Trees and Large shrubs in Narrow Spaces - Just because you have a small
garden doesn’t mean you can plant native shrubs, vines and even some trees. Dr.

for narrow screens and espalier (growing trees along a wall) as part of the
gardening series “Out of the Wilds and Into Your Garden”. Tuesday, March 7th, 6:00-7:30 p.m. at Gardena
Mayme Dear Library, 1731 W. Gardena Blvd., Gardena. For additional information call (310) 217-0681 or visit

gardening series to feature native plants appropriate for the Gardena/South Bay
area – and it’s FREE! This program is
sponsored by the Friends of Gardena Willows Wetland Preserve.

Soothing Sunflowers: Sunflowers
that can be used to sooth achy joints and muscles (and how to prepare & use
them) – Some of our native
sunflowers are not only pretty, but they’re also good medicine. Dr.
Connie Vadheim will introduce you to some of the best ones that we grow in our
gardens. She’ll discuss traditional and
contemporary medicinal uses and show you how to prepare a simple tincture. You’ll even be able to try some of these
medicines on your achy joints.
