Whats Up in Windsor by Lorene Romero and Gayle Walz - March 2019
Believe it or not spring is right around the corner. Spring is always a festive time in Windsor with blooming trees on the Town Green, mustard plants rising in the vineyards and a flurry of other events.
The much-anticipated opening of Sweet T’s restaurant will be happening on Tuesday, March 7th. Dennis and Ann Tussey, along with their partner George Ah Chin, and a full crew, have been working tirelessly to bring Windsor the new Sweet T’s 2.
Almost everyone knows Sweet T’s was located off Fountain Grove, in Santa Rosa, but was destroyed in the Tubb’s fire in October 2017. Although there have been a few challenges along the way Windsor is honored to be their new home.

A Healthy Gardens Approach to Weed Management presented by Master Gardener DJ DeProspero
Integrated Pest Management, or IPM, is a method of dealing with garden pests in a way that considers the whole ecosystem not just the pest. The focus in this talk is weeds. The IPM principles give the home gardener a set of strategies and tools to manage weeds while minimizing risks to people and the environment. In this talk you’ll learn the principles and how to apply them to your garden, whether large or small, whether you’re growing vegetables, fruits, or landscape plants. We’ll cover common weeds and have time for your questions too.
