Interested in starting a garden or improving the one you have? Consider taking one of the University of California Los Angeles County Master Gardeners Grow LA Gardens class series! The Grow LA Gardens Initiative, a series of four-week classes offered around Los Angeles County, is a great way to learn the basics and connect with fellow gardeners. Experienced UC Master Gardener volunteers lead the small classes where participants learn the ins-and-outs of soil preparation, irrigation, planting, pest management, and harvesting. In addition to learning the basics of successful gardening, participants meet other gardeners in their community and build a new network of gardening friends. They will be offering classes in-person, virtually, and a hybrid (virtual, in-person). Spring classes start as early as March, with the later sessions ending in late May. There is a new site for our classes in Artesia. Grow LA Gardens Class Schedule SPRING 2026 Classes will be in-person unless stated otherwise. Hybrid is a mix of online and in-person classes. https://ucanr.edu/county/los-angeles-county/grow-la-gardens-class-schedule Boyle Heights (Hybrid) Address: 400 South St. Louis Street, Los Angeles, CA 90033 Dates: 3/8, 3/15, & 3/22, and 3/29 (Sundays; the first 3 sessions are online and last session is in person) Time: 9:30 am to 12:30 pm To register: https://surveys.ucanr.edu/survey.cfm?surveynumber=48729 Contact: Malissa Strong, [email protected] The Farm at Fairplex Address: 2118 N.
