Our mild climate means we can grow year-round, and with grow bags you can grow anywhere. With coaching from UC Master Gardeners, learn what works for a great fall harvest. Each household gets: a grow bag, potting soil, watering can, and choice of vegetable and flower plants. Accompanying children will have a garden craft and start their own fall veggies.
Spaces are limited and registration is required. Choose either the English or Spanish-language workshop.

El Día de los Muertos es una de las tradiciones más representativas de México. Tiene un significado muy especial, pues en ella recordamos a todos nuestros queridos difuntos. En ocasiones estas fechas vienen acompañadas de nostalgia y nuestro duelo se hace más latente. Te invitamos a una charla sobre como podemos convertir ese duelo en una oportunidad para elaborar una ofrenda y así mismo honrar y recordar a nuestros seres queridos.

Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a tradition mainly represented in Mexico. Día de los Muertos has a special significance because it’s the day we remember our deceased loved ones. Sometimes these dates are accompanied by nostalgia and our grief becomes more present. Join us to a talk about how we can turn that grief into an opportunity to create an ofrenda (offering) to honor and remember our loved ones.
