Hosted by the Folsom Garden Club, this lovely tour showcases gorgeous private gardens – for a good cause. Proceeds support scholarships for local students as well as local garden projects.
Set for 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, April 27 and 28, the tour will feature seven private gardens – plus two bonus gardens – within easy driving distance.
Tickets are $20; children and youth age 15 and younger are admitted free with an adult.
“Throughout the gardens, you’ll find master gardeners on hand to answer your gardening questions, and artists painting in the gardens,” say the organizers. “We have a plant sale, too, loaded with horticultural treasures at bargain prices at the Murer House, 1125 Joe Murer Court, Folsom.
“And then there’s our famous bake sale, which offers amazingly yummy delights. Insider tip: the bake sale always sells out fast, so get there early before the tasty treats disappear. Also, enjoy a fabulous on-site food truck and an exciting raffle.”
Tickets are available online via the link below or at the tour’s Garden No. 2, 118 Buck Circle, Folsom, CA.

Garden Checklist for week of Sept. 15
Make the most of the cool break this week – and get things done. Your garden needs you!
* Now is the time to plant for fall. The warm soil will get cool-season veggies off to a fast start.
* Keep harvesting tomatoes, peppers, squash, melons and eggplant.
* Compost annuals and vegetable crops that have finished producing.
* Cultivate and add compost to the soil to replenish its nutrients for fall and winter vegetables and flowers.
* Fertilize deciduous fruit trees.
* Plant onions, lettuce, peas, radishes, turnips, beets, carrots, bok choy, spinach and potatoes directly into the vegetable beds.
* Transplant cabbage, broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower as well as lettuce seedlings.
* Sow seeds of California poppies, clarkia and African daisies.
* Transplant cool-weather annuals such as pansies, violas, fairy primroses, calendulas, stocks and snapdragons.
* Divide and replant bulbs, rhizomes and perennials.
* Dig up and divide daylilies as they complete their bloom cycle.
* Divide and transplant peonies that have become overcrowded. Replant with "eyes" about an inch below the soil surface.
* Late September is ideal for sowing a new lawn or re-seeding bare spots.
