On Saturday, Dec. 9, High-Hand Nursery will host “Winter Art in the Garden,” a celebration of local talent as well as a holiday shopping event.
Artists who regularly display work in High-Hand’s historic fruit shed galleries will bring their art outside into the nursery’s demonstration gardens and green spaces.
“Art in the Garden allows you to shop from some of our gallery artists while you take a stroll through the nursery,” explains the organizers. “The artists will have a table display with their work set up outside and in the fruit sheds!”
The artists will be showing their work from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. Admission and parking are free.
High-Hand is much more than a place to buy plants. Many patrons come for the farm-to-fork lunch at the High-Hand Cafe inside its glass conservatory. Now open is High-Hand Brewery, serving premium craft beer, wine, cocktails and pub-style food. Besides the art galleries, its fruit shed shops include a fruit and flower market, gift shop, olive oil company and more.
High-Hand Nursery is located at 3750 Taylor Road, Loomis.

Garden Checklist for week of Sept. 29
Make the most of cool mornings and remember to keep new transplants hydrated. Their roots appreciate the warm soil, even though they may wilt in this heat.
* October is the best month to plant trees, shrubs and perennials.
* Before planting, add a little well-aged compost and bone meal to the soil, but hold off on other fertilizers until spring. Keep the transplants well-watered (but not wet) for the first month as they become settled.
* Dig up corms and tubers of gladioli, dahlias and tuberous begonias after the foliage dies. Clean and store in a cool, dry place.
* Treat azaleas, gardenias and camellias with chelated iron if leaves are yellowing between the veins.
* Clean up the summer vegetable garden and compost disease-free foliage.
* Harvest pumpkins and winter squash.
* Now is the time to plant seeds for many flowers directly into the garden, including cornflower, nasturtium, nigella, poppy, portulaca, sweet pea and stock.
* Plant seeds for radishes, bok choy, mustard, spinach and peas.
* Plant garlic and onions.
* Set out cool-weather bedding plants, including calendula, pansy, snapdragon, primrose and viola.
* Reseed and feed the lawn. Work on bare spots.
