Bellevue Demo Garden: 2011 Workshop Schedule

Went to a lecture on espalier techniques for fruit trees, berry/grape vines last Saturday.  Interesting stuff.  Bellevue Demo Garden workshops are already well under way.  These workshops are all FREE and a great way for any gardener to get good info on various topics, not just us interns and MGs earning our continuing education credits! 
I've posted the schedule below.  WARNING!  Be sure to double check with the garden before heading out as changes sometimes do happen.  Would hate to see you show up expecting a lecture on one thing only to get served up something else!

Workshops happen Saturdays, 10:30am - 12 noon in the Ranger Station adjacent to the Demo Garden.  Here's the address:  15500 SE 16th Street, Bellevue, WA.  I tried leaving you a link to directions but the blog toolbar isn't working..... sorry.  Just cut and paste the address into your favorite map tool and you'll be all set!  Hope to see you there!
