History
Fair Oaks Horticulture Center has an annual vegetable demonstration area located in the back of the Fair Oaks Horticulture Center. Each Spring, Master Gardeners select annual vegetables to grow based on public interest. There are several beds in which different annual vegetables are planted each year. In 2006, there is are two rows of tomatoes, one row of eggplant, okra, and chili peppers, one row of soya beans and chinese long beans and one row of basil and other herbs. Two of the rows are being used to demonstrate solarization techniques.
