Yard Overhaul: Planning Big Projects

  • City Farmers Nursery 4832 Home Ave San Diego, CA, 92105 United States (map)

Summer heat is the best time to start gathering information, not to dig holes. If it's too hot to dig the hole, it's too hot to plant the plant!

Join our team and start learning about how to approach your big yard project. We'll cover lawn removal, thoughts on grading and irrigation, and give you a simple order-of-operations on how to think about the Big Projects on your horizon.

These projects don't have to be expensive, but will benefit from smart planning and thinking.

We'll cover tips like:

  • Visiting plants in nearby yards to get inspiration for what you'll like and how it'll grow

  • Understanding what size of garden beds/planters you really want

  • How to start with weed-filled yards (it's not impossible to transform!)

  • How to look at hillsides and approach irrigation

This is not a class on every subject, rather we'll teach you how we've helped tens of thousands of San Diegans to smartly go about their Big Projects; often with upcycled/reused materials, and lots of elbow grease.

You can also put our upcoming Irrigation Basics class on your calendar (tentatively scheduled for Aug 25th) which will delve deeper into the subject.
