Experts will be available to answer technical questions on opening day May 12, 2011. The Nevada Cooperative Extension will also have their Horticulture Specialist on hand to answer questions and offer a chance to win her new book. Anyone who purchases plants that day will be given a chance to enter the raffle.
The nursery is located in Washoe Valley at 885 Eastlake Boulevard.
