PURRFECT PALS CATS AND GARDEN TOUR

This is their second annual tour to benefit the no-kill shelter in Arlington. Tickets are only $10 and the gardens this year are in the Kayak Point area. In fact, our very own Ted and Sandy Milam's garden is on the tour. Tickets on sale at the nursery.

SORTICULTURE
June 12,13,14

This is Everett's annual sort of culture, sort of horticulture event at Legion Park. It's lots of fun and of course we will have a booth where we'll be selling all the new, cutting edge plant material and other garden related stuff. Sandy Milam and myself (the old fart again with the pitch fork) will both be lecturing sometime during the 3 day event. The whole event is free to the public but you are certainly welcome to come by our booth and bring me a dozen cookies. Go to the Everett Parks Website for specific times. Hope to see you there (with cookies of course).

MEET THE DESIGNERS
Saturday, June 20th

This is your chance to meet with a designer for free and get started on your dream landscape.

Try Speed Dating for Gardeners! We have dedicated June 20th, the first day of summer, as the day we have set aside to help you tackle your landscape. From 10 in the morning until 4 in the afternoon you will have the opportunity to sit down with a designer and go over some plan concepts for your yard. Want to plant a perennial border? No problem, we’ll match you up with one of our perennial specialists. How about some raised beds for veggies, a few fruit trees and some berries. We’ve got just the person for you to talk to. Roses your passion? We can do that one too. Or maybe a hot, dry slope, or damp boggy area, or windy site with salt spray. Yes, we can help you there. Interested in installing a rain garden? We’ve got all the information for that project. What about a green roof or living wall. No problem. Want to go native or create a wild life sanctuary? Yup, we got just the ticket. Deer driving you nuts? Help is on the way.

In short, June 20th is the day to come to Sunnyside Nursery with all your questions and photos and measurements, ready to sit down and hammer out a plan so you can go back home and get to work. Pre-registration is required, so be sure to call ahead to schedule your 20 minute appointment!

EVERETT GARDENS OF MERIT TOUR
Saturday, June 27th

Take a day away from working in the garden to tour several fun and fabulous gardens in the Everett area. This tour benefits one of my favorite charities, the Everett Arboretum and Gardens, located in north Everett at Legion Park. Tickets are only $10 and can be purchased here at the nursery. I will be at the Arboretum all day to help with the plant sale and to answer any nagging gardening questions you might have. Cookies welcome.

FOURTH OF JULY
Saturday, July 4th

Because the 4th is on a Saturday this year and we know that some of you will want to work in your yard for at least part of the day, we will be here to serve you on limited holiday hours of 10am to 3pm. Hope to see you and have a Happy Fourth of July.

SUMMER PRUNING
Saturday, July 11th

Now that you have seen the results of all that hacking and slashing you did back in March and April you might just want to know what the heck to do with all the growth you are experiencing. And in case you have forgotten most of what I taught you in the spring, we will review pruning basics and give you some tips on how and what to prune in the summer. Should be informative and as always lots of fun. Did I mention cookies?
Free Starts at 10:30am

LIVING ROOFS AND WALL
Saturday, July 18th

Everyone is all abuzz this year about green roofs and walls. Maybe you have a garden shed you would like to turn into a green roof or a fence that you are picturing as a waterfall of plant material. Well, here is your chance to learn the ins and outs from the professionals who built walls and roofs for the 2009 Northwest Flower and Garden Show. This will be a demonstration class.
Free 10:30am

CREATE A BACKYARD BIRD SANCTUARY
Saturday, July 25th

If you enjoy watching our feathered friends half as much as I do, then you will want to mark your calendar for this class. Members of the National Wildlife Federation from Camano Island Chapter will be here to discuss how to attract wildlife into your yard and how to get your backyard certified as a Backyard Wildlife Sanctuary. I can hardly wait to hear what they have to say.
Free 10:30am
