Free Garden Classes in Westchester

Our "sister" garden, the Community Garden at Holy Nativity (83rd and Dunbarton, LA 90045) offers an Organic Vegetable Gardening class series that is open to the public. Most of the sessions are free.

Upcoming classes include:

July 11 - "Good Bug / Bad Bug" Organic pest control for our gardens. Learn to identify which bugs are good and which bugs are not. A baby ladybug is a great example - it looks pretty scary but it would be a shame to "do it in" and remove future generations of ladybugs. (9am)

July 25 - "Attracting the Good Bugs" Learn what flowers and plants to grow in your garden to encourage the good bugs. Provide homes and breeding places for pollinating insects and for the predator bugs that eat the bad guys. (9am)

As the WLVCG gets underway, this garden class series will probably be shared between the two locations. But for the present, all are welcome to join the classes, to learn and share.
