Planting For Success: A How-to Guide with Terence Huang

Tailored specifically to coincide with our Annual Fall Plant Sale. This detailed "how-to" follow-up of Right Plant, Right Place will get you started on the right foot!

California native plants have unique adaptations, and the way you plant, mulch and water them will determine how their roots develop for long-term success.

Join botanist and gardener Terry Huang ONLINE for the last Planting for Success of 2025, as he guides you through specific best practices for your plant's first year of establishment and beyond.

In this class, you will learn:

• How to prepare and test your soil

• Assessing the light of your space

• Specific watering methods and routines to grow resilient roots

• Different ways to mulch

• Q&A portion

*Please note this class focuses on in-ground care only. For gardening with container plants, please check the schedule for future offerings.

This class will be held online and recorded. Zoom login instructions will be included in the reminder emails. Registered students will have access to a recording of the class for 2 weeks after the live event.
