Straw Bale Gardening Class
2022-03-19 11:00 - 12:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Rail City Garden Center, 1720 Brierley Way, Sparks, NV, 89434
Learn how to garden using straw bales instead of traditional gardening methods! Fun and easy for the whole family.
Straw Bale Gardening is simply a different type of container gardening. The main difference is that the container is the straw bale itself and is held together with two or three strings. Once the straw inside the bale begins to decay the straw becomes “conditioned” compost that creates an extraordinary plant rooting environment. Getting the straw bales conditioned is an essential part of the process, and should be started two weeks prior to your target planting date wherever you are located. This gardening technique works well anywhere in the country or the world for that matter.

Held close to the famous Reno Arch, the Eldorado Italian Festival is sure to bring smiles and tons of live entertainment throughout the two-day street festival.

Dishes to look forward to include chicken Parmesan, spaghetti and meatballs, meat ravioli with Bolognese, tortellini Eldorado, Gnocchetti pesto, Italian sausage and peppers, fried ravioli, fried calamari, and the ever-famous and scrumptious mushroom ravioli with porcini cream sauce. Complete your meal with delicious desserts such as homemade gelato, cannolis, or Nutella ricotta Crespo, a sweet ricotta crêpe with strawberries and a drizzle of Nutella.
One huge draw of the Eldorado Italian Festival is the Great Italian Sauce Cook-off. Italian families from across the West Coast bring their recipes to life right on the street for guests to taste. People’s Choice ballots for favorite sauce are handed out with the purchase of pasta. Vote for your favorite and help a vendor win the sought-after prize and title of best Italian sauce on the West Coast.
