Fresno Master Gardeners Show Off Their Green Thumbs

http://ucanr.edu/sites/mgfresno/

Gardening is a popular hobby. Many people are in their yards right now working on their flowers and plants. The premiere Master Gardeners of Fresno County are holding a spring tour to show off their green thumbs Saturday April 23.

"This tour is all about learning and that is what we do,"  says Chris Hays who has been with the Master Gardener program for 17 years. "We have six gardens on the tour this year, but we also invite everyone to come to the public garden, The Garden of the Sun.

Hay says her favorite garden on the tour is on Christmas Tree Lane. 

"I really like gardens that have shade," Hays says. "[The gardener] has some exquisite specimen trees that are huge, old and beautifully maintained. Part of the tour is that we try to have as much a difference as we can between the gardens so we aren't just saying here's an English Cottage garden six times."
