I'm looking forward to seeing how this new facebook page gets you out into your gardens! 'Like' The Gardening Tutor page and let me know how your gardening is going.  See us on facebook -Mary THE GARDEN TOUR WAS A HUGE SUCCESS The garden tour sold over 1200 tickets to the tour this weekend! We’re pooped! I think our faces are stuck on ‘smile’. Here is a great article in the Press Democrat about the garden. http://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/20110513/LIFESTYLE/110519781?tc=ar  WE’RE SPRUCING UP THE DEMO GARDEN! The Gardening Tutor is pleased to announce that the Demo Garden is included in this year’s SCMAAF* self-guided tour of 7 Santa Rosa area gardens. This is a great honor! On most days the Demo Garden is used as a ‘classroom’ for learning. Typically you’ll see a few weeds here and there, but for these two days the garden is going to be looking extra special! *This year marks the 20th year for the Sonoma County Medical Association Alliance Foundation (SCMAAF) Garden Tour. Proceeds fund grants to many health oriented non-profit organizations in Sonoma County.
