Sustainable Scripps Ranch wants the community to be aware of these events in October:
Earth Friendly Gardening
Saturday, Oct. 21, 10-11a.m.: Scripps Miramar Ranch Library, 10301 Scripps Lake Drive.
How earth friendly is your garden? The things you do in your garden have wide-ranging impacts. This talk will help you evaluate your current gardening practices and will suggest additional practices you can adopt to make your garden more earth friendly and sustainable. Making one significant change such as proper irrigation or mulching can have numerous positive effects on you, your garden, wildlife and the environment around you. If you’re interested in saving time and money creating a healthier environment, this talk is for you.
