March 10 Workshop at our PB yard, $75 to attend.

March 10 Workshop at our PB yard, $ 75 to attend.

Start Your Garden from Seed, Workshop with Nan Sterman, March 10, 2012
at Southwest Boulder and Stone, Pacific Beach
San Diego, CA

Price: $ 75 each

Seeds are magical little things, pieces of dried out “wood” that, when watered, suddenly come alive to make round purple eggplants, sweet red tomatoes, even savory basil.

Starting from seed allows gardeners to try varieties nurseries just don’t sell.

This workshop focuses on seed starting basics.  We begin with how to read seed packages and which seeds to start in which seasons.  We talk about the best containers for starting seeds (we use the exclusive, reusable Rootrainer Growing System) and the best seed starting soils, too.

Then, we literally dig in and get planting.

We cover everything a hoping-for-green-thumb needs to raise a summer full of vegetables, fruits, and herbs, including seed starting secrets Nan’s developed from years of starting her own garden from seed and testing seeds for Organic Gardening Magazine.

You’ll end up with dirty fingernails, a smile on your face, and a big tray of  tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, zucchini, cucumbers, basil, pumpkins.  There may be some surprise seeds too!

If you’ve dreamed of starting seeds, or struggled with seeds in the past, this workshop is for you!

PLEASE NOTE: This small, hands-on workshop is limited to 15 people only.  Please reserve your spot before all the spaces fill.

Adding a Water Feature to your Home is easy as 1… 2… 3…

Does the calm, bubbly sound of a water feature intrigue you?  Maybe you live in the city or a condo but still want to add a smaller landscaping element.  Enter the water feature,  a one weekend project with unlimited size and style restrictions.

Step 1 – What is your water feature going to look like?

Decide what your water feature will look like and what size it will be.  SWB has water feature kits of varying sizes and will work with you to get the correct hardware and dimensions.  We also have countless fountains and stone for decoration.  Visit the Products Page of our website to check out what we have to offer by clicking here.

Step 2 – Stop by one of our locations and pick up your fountain/water feature kit.

For illustrative purposes, we decided on a smaller water feature, perfect for condos or people living in the city.  It consists of our fountain kit and a small fountain.

Step 3 – Set up your water feature and decorate it

Installing your water feature should take you less that a weekend.  If you have any issues feel free to stop by one of our locations and one of our friendly SWB customer service representatives will be more than happy to help you out.
