Garden Talk #2 Spring 2025: Small Space Gardening

May 15 @ 6:30 pm 7:30 pm

Buttonwood Nature Center announces the 2025 spring series of small-group garden talks. Talks will be held on four Thursdays in May from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the Civil War era garden adjacent to Monterey Pass Battlefield Museum.

#2: Small Space Gardening

The second of a series of four spring Garden Talks. Gardening expert Melissa Irwin presents an in-the-garden program about gardening in a smaller space.

Productive gardens don’t always require a large yard. Learn how you can grow food, herbs and flowers for your family with only a small space. Whether you have a postage-stamp yard, a couple of raised beds, or just a sunny balcony, you might be surprised how much you can grow with just a little bit of soil and a lot of creativity! Irwin will explore vertical gardening, too.

Participants should wear shoes appropriate for being inside the garden. Seating is not provided, but feel free to bring a chair.

Melissa Irwin is a naturalist who has experience working with the Audubon Society and Moonfire Orchard. She holds a degree in Environmental Studies and specializes in all things growing in soil!
