Have you ever wanted to grow your own fruits, vegetables, or herbs but weren’t sure where to start? Join us for a free, hands-on gardening workshop and learn practical ways to grow delicious, healthy food at home.

Together we’ll cover:

  • How to read seed packets, nursery labels, and plant guides

  • The best fruits, vegetables, and herbs to grow in our Bay Area climate year-round

Come learn, connect, and grow with your community. Everyone is welcome—no experience (or backyard) required!
