“ORGANIC GARDENING” Workshop Series - Join the “locavore” movement and get your fill of vegetables in 2012 by starting an organic kitchen garden in your own backyard. PWP and Gardenerd have teamed up to offer a new Organic Gardening Series, set for Saturdays, March 3, 10, 17 and 24 from 9 to 11 a.m. at The Salvation Army Tabernacle, 960 E. Walnut St. Local expert Christy Wilhemi will entertain and inform, giving the best advice on soil and fertilizers, small space and container gardening, heirloom vegetables, seed starting and transplanting, garden tools and care and pruning.

 

“RAIN GARDEN” Hands-On Workshop – A TRULY HANDS ON EXPERIENCE (BRING GARDEN GLOVES!) Volunteers from across the community will get together to create a "pocket park" in a Pasadena neighborhood. The park will incorporate principles of rain gardening to help restore local groundwater. An instructor will guide you through all the principles and techniques, and then the class will be let loose to dig and plant. While getting your hands dirty (wear gloves!), you'll be learning how to grow a beautiful, lush oasis in your own yard. A rain garden can help you cut your water bills and take your landscape to the next level by channeling rainwater to a unique collection of plants that thrive in moist conditions. DATE CHANGE: Now set for Saturday, March 24. If you are interested, please send email to jhao@cityofpasadena.net
