Growing your own fruit, vegetables, herbs and raising poultry is not only a great way of saving money it's part of a healthy lifestyle. We welcome all levels of gardeners from novice to advanced. Our Meetups consist of garden tours, field trips and how-to demonstrations. Co-organizer Mark Rice is founder of Pasadena Learning Gardens and maintains a page of valuable gardening links that you may find helpful.

1) We are a garden Co-Op; we share our harvests. 2) We like to putter in each others gardens.  It is more fun together and we like to show off our plants. 3) Big harvests give opportunities for Big Cook-Offs.  Join us and make dishes to take home. 4) Learn about Edible Gardening, Natural Pest Control, Permaculture, Green Construction, Ethnic and Veggie Cooking, Computers, and TED. 5) Maybe a little wine and music in the garden as well.   Many of our activities are ADA, elderly, and kid friendly.

… You do not have to have a garden or children to be part of this group, just an interest in growing food and building a supportive community around you!
