Here in Northern Nevada, our high desert climate can make gardening a little confusing for a midwestern girl like me. I'm from Missouri, where the average last frost date is April 15th and temperatures very rarely swing more than 20 degree in a day. So, being used to that climate, I'm chomping at the bit to get get started in the garden, especially when daytime feels like spring.

Want to help beautify the Garden?

Join us for one (or more!) of our upcoming Garden Work Parties, listed below!

You bring sun protection, work gloves (if you have them), and a cup or mug to help reduce waste.

We'll provide food, beverages, and fun people!

See you there!!

Upcoming Work Parties:

As part of their reading of Around the Pond: Who's Been Here by Lindsay Barrett George, second graders at Sonoma Heights Elementary went on a field trip to the Community Garden's pond.

Are you going to be in town for Labor Day Weekend?

Do you want to get more involved with the Tri-County Fair and have fun while doing it?

We need your help!

We are having a booth at the fair that includes fun and educational activities for kids of all ages and we need volunteers to help make it happen!

Are you ready to start gardening? We are! Here are a few tips about cold weather plants from the UNCE in Reno.

Planting dates depend upon the plant hardiness. Some vegetables are very hardy and can be planted as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring. Half-hardy vegetables can be planted 2 to 4 weeks before the average last killing frost date of May 15.
