Grass Valley May 13, 2017 – NID encourages area residents to attend and take advantage of the annual Spring Plant Sale held by the University of California Master Gardeners of Nevada County. The event takes place on Saturday, May 13, between 9:00 am and noon, at the NID Business grounds, located at 1036 West Main Street in Grass Valley.
NID and the University of California formed a partnership in 1991 to establish a garden to demonstrate sustainable landscape techniques for home gardeners. NID installed and maintains water lines and electricity, and Master Gardeners plan, install and maintain the garden.
The purpose of the partnership is to support regional biodiversity, conserve resources, and minimize pollution and waste. Master Gardeners apply their expertise with a focus on climate and soil adapted plants for the Sierra foothills. The partnership also furthers the District’s ongoing dedication to conscientious landscaping and gardening techniques.
“We encourage the public to get here early,” said Ann Wright, Master Gardeners’ public information representative. “Over 7,000 plants will be available, including fifty varieties of tomatoes and twenty varieties of peppers; it’s a lot of fun!”
