SUMMARY:Gardening at Hearn Gulch
DESCRIPTION:When: Saturday\, May 17\, 10:00 AM – noon \nWhere: Hearn Gulch (located on the west side of Highway One\, north of the town of Gualala. Watch for mile marker 10.0). \nRSVP: Free. Space is limited\, so contact Mark Escajeda (mescajeda@rclc.org) for more information. \n\nThis hands-on experience offers a relaxed opportunity for gardeners to get to know the coastal plant life of Hearn Gulch\, including low-growing natives and the invasive species they compete against. With trowels in hand\, we’ll tackle some of the easier-to-pull invasives to give the native plants more room to grow.
