🌿 Ever wanted to grow beautiful clematis in Northern Nevada? 🌿
If you've admired those spectacular climbing flowers but weren't sure how to grow or prune them, this free Garden Talk is for you!
Certified Master Gardener Douglas Kadera knows firsthand that gardening in Northern Nevada is very different from gardening elsewhere. After moving to Gardnerville from Southern California five years ago, he quickly discovered that our high-desert climate brings unique challenges. His journey to becoming a Master Gardener opened his eyes to just how much there is to learn—and today he enjoys growing clematis, fruit trees, vegetables, native plants, flowers, and much more in his thriving Nevada garden.
Douglas will share practical tips on:
🌸 Choosing and growing clematis successfully
✂️ Understanding the often-confusing art of pruning
🌱 Gardening in Northern Nevada's unique climate
🌿 Lessons he's learned through experience and Master Gardener training
Whether you're new to gardening or have years of experience, you'll leave with helpful ideas you can put to use in your own yard.
📅 Wednesday, July 8
🕠 5:30 PM
📍 Carson City Community Gardens
1044 Beverly Drive, Carson City
🪑 Please bring a chair!
This presentation is FREE and open to the public. If you can't make the Carson City presentation, Douglas will also be presenting this topic at Gertrude's Talks in Douglas County this August.
Come spend an enjoyable summer evening in the garden and discover why clematis is known as the "Queen of Climbers!" We hope to see you there! 🌺🌿
