Residents are encouraged to attend a free Smart Gardening workshop. No reservation needed.
Learn to reduce yard waste and improve your lawn and garden. Workshops are about 1.5 hours.
Get step by step instructions on how to compost, and learn the benefits and biology.
Workshops are held at our Learning Centers and at local events
such as Bay Days, Long Beach Home Show, and the County Fair. The Program also works
with cities to provide workshops at community centers, libraries, parks, or schools.
Beginning Workshops introduce you to smart gardening.
Advanced Workshops are for those that love to garden
(schedule is listed at bottom).
