FREE Lavender Harvest: Thursday, July 1 from 9:30 AM - 2 PM

Just in time for Independence Day! FREE LAVENDER GIVE-AWAY Thursday, July 1st from 9:30 AM - 2 PM.

Join us at the Good Life Garden this Thursday, July 1st, anytime between 9:30AM and 2PM to gather some lavender! We also have a few other herbs that may be available to harvest on request. Some lavender will already be cut and ready to take home, and some will need to be harvested. Be sure to come prepared with a cutting instrument in case all of the trimmed lavender has been taken!

If you are interested, please RSVP to goodlifegarden@ucdavis.edu so we know how many people will be attending. Directions to the garden can be found on our website: http://www.goodlifegarden.ucdavis.edu/location

The give-away is free to attend; we just need you to bring the following items:

* scissors or pruning shears
* a bag to hold your herbs
* wet paper towels to put in the bag with the herbs (if you don't have a refrigerator to keep them in for the day)
* water to drink (because it's going to be hot!)

BE SURE TO WASH ALL HERBS WELL BEFORE ENJOYING THEIR FRESH TASTE!

Our gardener Arlene will be there all day to answer your questions about the different herbs and the harvesting process, as well as to direct you to the correct plants. We ask that no one remove entire plants or remove more than half of the leaves or flowers from any particular plant.
