Ocean Friendly Gardens Work Day

WHEN: Sunday, April 10, 10am-4pm    WHERE: 2636 Maine Ave, Long Beach 90806

Wear: Wear closed-toe shoes      Bring: Tools if you have ‘em, refillable drink container

Please join us at a garden workday we are hosting with Surfrider Foundation-Long Beach Chapter, through its Ocean Friendly Gardens (OFG) Program. We went to an OFG class and are applying what we learned to implement our design that qualified for the Lawn to Garden Incentive Program offered by Long Beach Water Department (www.lblawntogarden.com).

Our garden design includes rainwater capture and runoff prevention, permeable walkways, native and climate appropriate plants, drip irrigation and mulch.  The Workday will be led by landscape professionals with G3 (The Green Gardens Group), so a $10 donation is requested to cover G3’s time.  Learn by practicing on our yard, then go home and try it yourself!
