MetroED’s Upcoming World Garden Workshop Features Irrigation Systems

Toss the watering can and learn about Irrigation Systems at Metropolitan Adult Education Program’s (MAEP) new free-of-charge World Garden Workshop on September 9 at the Erikson Adult Center located at 4849 Pearl Ave, San Jose.

Master Gardener Tina Dinitz will speak to gardeners on the various types of irrigation systems available during a free workshop from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., rain or shine, in room 18, across from MetroED’s World Garden. Dinitz will teach gardeners, of all skill levels, how to determine which irrigation system or combination of systems may work best in a home landscape.

The World Garden is located on the southwestern edge of the Erikson Adult Center campus. Look for the redwood trees and the greenhouse roof after entering the fenced parking lot on Minas Drive, off of Pearl Avenue.

To register for the free workshop, call 723-6450 and ask to have your name added to the September World Garden Workshop list or email ritab@metroed.net. Sign-up early, as space is limited.
