Native Plant Water Gardening with Andrew Chaves — Dec 10, 2026
Description
Perfect for anyone who is interested in learning about water gardening and discovering new ways to incorporate native California plants into their outdoor spaces. Join us as we explore the world of water gardening, focusing on how to create and maintain a beautiful, sustainable water garden with native California plants.
Water gardening is a unique and rewarding way to add natural beauty and serenity to any outdoor space, and it is an excellent way to incorporate both native plants and water sources for wildlife. With the use of containers, we can even create water gardens in small spaces, patios, and even on balconies.
Andrew Chaves is a passionate horticulturist, dedicated educator and a certified UC California Naturalist. At a young age he learned ‘botanical Latin’ from his grandfather, a nursery professional and horticulturist. Through the years he has honed his skills in growing and nurturing plants of all kinds. As education supervisor at the Redondo Beach SEA Lab, he gained invaluable experience in plant propagation and native plant restoration while honing his abilities as an informal educator.
Andrew is committed to inspiring and educating about plants and the importance of native plant gardening. His teaching philosophy revolves around creating a safe and inclusive learning environment where all students feel comfortable asking questions and sharing their ideas. He believes that native plant horticulture is not just about growing plants but also about cultivating a deep connection with nature and developing a sense of stewardship towards our environment.

- What if it rains?
Rain or Shine Policy
Our classes generally take place rain or shine. We do not cancel classes simply because rain is forecast; however, the safety of our students, instructors, and staff comes first. In the event of severe weather or unsafe conditions, we will evaluate the situation on a case-by-case basis and may modify, relocate, postpone, or cancel a class. If TPF cancels or postpones a class due to weather, registered participants will be notified as soon as possible and offered a refund or the option to transfer their registration to a rescheduled date when available.
- Cancellation Policy
🎟️ Enrollment Threshold for Classes: We require a minimum of five participants for a class to run; when enrollment falls below that number, we may need to cancel the class in order to responsibly cover program costs and maintain an engaging experience for those attending. If this happens we will refund the ticket price. We are not able to refund credit card charges.
