The City of Monterey’s Parks and Recreation Department will host the 68th Annual Cutting Day and Horticulture Fair, Saturday, March 15, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at Friendly Plaza on the corner of Pacific and Jefferson streets located next to Colton Hall.
“We look forward to welcoming the public to this educational, fun, and free annual event that is a Monterey tradition,” stated Parks and Recreation Director Karen Larson. “The family-friendly event is for residents of all levels of experience, from the beginning gardening enthusiast to the master gardener looking to learn more about sustainable gardening.”
In addition to participants bringing yard clippings to share, local nurseries donate and distribute hundreds of plants and trees for residents to take home to plant and enjoy. Exhibits this year include free tree seedlings, native plant information, propagation, information about landscaping with drought resistant plants, and information tables from the Historic Garden League, Monterey Stormwater Education Alliance (SEA), and Monterey Volunteer Gardeners.
Kiwanis Club of Monterey, Monterey Volunteer Gardeners, Blue Moon Native Garden, Drought Resistant Nursery, Hana Gardens, and Rana Creek are among the businesses and organizations donating seedlings and plants.
