June Horticulture Center Updates

The vegetable garden

Vegetable plants are beginning to set fruit, but something’s not quite right. Visit our new Vegetable Problems in Summer pages for answers.

Also see our Tips for June.

In the orchard

Summer prune deciduous fruit trees to improve light penetration and air circulation. Also cut back new shoot growth above the desired tree height.

See more June orchard activities.

In the WEL

June is a lovely time in the water-efficient landscape gardens at the Fair Oaks Horticulture Center.

For more favorites, please visit our plant list for Spring and Summer.

Grow herbs!

Whether you use it for cooking, scent or landscape beauty, learn more about growing Lavender.

With all those flowers blooming, is it any wonder there would be celebrations? We found a list of festivals and other celebrations in California in June.
