Home Composting & Urban Gardening Workshops - Lopez Canyon

This FREE workshop will teach you how to turn kitchen scraps and yard trimmings into a nutrient-rich soil amendment. Home composting is taught by a team of ten rotating LA Sanitation & Environment green waste specialists. Each participant will take home a free garden plant at the end of the event. Some workshops even have surprise guests!

L A's favorite horticulturist, Steve List, will be with us to share his monthly Urban Gardening topics!
