Master Gardeners at MVCC Green Tent

The UCCE LA County Master Gardeners are back at the Mar Vista Community Council's Green Tent on June 24 with seasonally appropriate FREE herb and veggie plants, and seeds to share.

Wondering what to plant now? Need help figuring out why your favorite plant is looking peekish--and what to do about it? Have a question about organic gardening? 

Get the latest research-based information about urban gardening, horticulture and the environment. Learn what's appropriate for our Mar Vista ecosystem--and the 10 invasive plants to avoid. Or just stop by to pick up a free seedling and packet of seeds...and to chat a bit with some garden experts.

Our wonderful Master Gardener Volunteers take an intensive training program in all aspects of gardening and are a font of information. They give their time teaching others, especially in low-income areas. Master Gardeners offer workshops at community gardens, housing development gardens, homeless shelter gardens, answer questions on our Help Line, and much more.
