L.A. Garden Show (April 30 - May 2)


The L.A. Garden Show is the largest outdoor gardening event on the West Coast that has evolved into a prestigious community gathering, as well as a premier industry event for green gardening in Southern California and beyond. The event illustrates innovative and environmentally responsible garden design and shares knowledge of eco-gardening practices through workshops, lectures, and demonstrations. It also provides specialty plants, books, and home gardening elements.

Workshops, lectures, and demonstrations will range from creating edible gardens to designing with California-friendly plants, to composting and making water-wise choices in home gardens. More>>
