Santa Clarita horticulturists are invited to SCV Water for a pair of seminars on how to care for  perennials and the top 30 plants for the Santa Clarita Valley.

The first class is set to be on Thursday, May 17 at 6:30 pm and the second class is scheduled for Saturday, May 19 at 9 a.m., and both will be at SCV Water, according to officials.

Tim Wheeler, a certified arborist, is scheduled to lecture the May 17 class on how to care for perennials.

On May 19, SCV Water officials will teach residents how to care for a variety of plants well suited for the Santa Clarita Valley’s environment.

Stephen Williams, professor of horticulture at Mt. S.A.C, is expected to lead the May 19 class on caring for Santa Clarita’s top 30 plants. Williams has been affiliated with U.C.C.E. Master Gardeners since 1996, and has been teaching free, weekly home gardening classes for 10 years.
