In addition, a number of other experts will be at the event to answer questions related to topics including dealing with drought, attracting butterflies, all about bees, citrus and avocado growing, vegetable gardens, and creating hypertufa. And a number of University of California Cooperative Extension master gardeners from San Bernardino County will be present. The San Bernardino County Master Gardener Program Coordinator, Dona Jenkins, will give workshops called, “Vermicomposting – Worm Power!!” at 1:30 p.m., 2:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. Drawings will be held throughout the afternoon.
