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 July 21
Your garden needs you!
* Keep your vegetable garden watered, mulched and weeded. Water before 8 a.m. to reduce the chance of fungal infection and to conserve moisture.
* Feed vegetable plants bone meal, rock phosphate or other fertilizers high in phosphate to stimulate more blooms and fruiting. (But wait until daily high temperatures drop out of the 100s.)
* Don’t let tomatoes wilt or dry out completely. Give tomatoes a deep watering two to three times a week.
* Harvest vegetables promptly to encourage plants to produce more. Squash especially tends to grow rapidly in hot weather. Keep an eye on zucchini.
* Pinch back chrysanthemums for bushy plants and more flowers in September.
* Remove spent flowers from roses, daylilies and other bloomers as they finish flowering.
* Pinch off blooms from basil so the plant will grow more leaves.
* Cut back lavender after flowering to promote a second bloom.
* It's not too late to add a splash of color. Plant petunias, snapdragons, zinnias and marigolds.
* From seed, plant corn, pumpkins, radishes, winter squash and sunflowers.
