It's the 4th Sunday and time for the Master Gardeners to visit the MVCC Green Tent! Stop by this Sunday May 22nd – the Master Gardeners will be offering their guidance plus a wide array of seeds and seedlings! While you're there, ask them about the Seed Library of Los Angeles and find out about Grow LA Victory Garden classes throughout the LA area!
Since 1978, UC Cooperative Extension's Common Ground Program has made gardening possible for many Los Angeles County residents, particularly low-income and traditionally underrepresented families. The program goals are to improve nutrition; increase access to fresh, low-cost produce; offer gardening education; build bridges between neighbors and communities; help create employment opportunities; and encourage a cleaner, greener Los Angeles. We are thrilled to have them as our guest at the booth on the 4th Sunday of every month! Families learn how to garden, grow their own food and prepare it in a healthful manner. In addition, the program trains community volunteers and Master Gardeners, who in turn, volunteer their time to community and school gardens. This is a wonderful program - you may even want to explore signing up for the Master Gardener volunteer training program!
