Learn regenerative gardening by doing it yourself with other volunteers! Every final Saturday of the month from 9:00am to 12:00pm join us for a Weekend Projects volunteer event. Participation is free and getting dirt-ish in a beautiful garden is enjoyable. All events that are part of this final Saturday program are project-based rebuild projects -- learn how to garden regeneratively with native and mediterranean climate plants by working on a specific rejuvenation or rebuild in the garden. Examples of possible projects include replanting a native plant walk subsumed by CA wild roses and weeds, redesigning garden "rooms" damaged by heat and improving their irrigation, prepping beds for wildflower sowing, joining a garden survey to catalogue the different species found in the garden 20 years after our founding -- sign up now! 💚🌿

Learn techniques for plant propagation and take a few plants home from Arlington Garden at this workshop offered in collaboration with Artemisia Nursery and Sustainable Little Tokyo. We’ll start with a guided garden walk from Arlington Garden’s capri kasai where you’ll learn about the best plant options for stem and pup propagation (at least those growing in the garden right now) and catch a glimpse of the phenotype of your future plant (aka what it looks like). Then join us at stations guiding you through three methods of plant propagation–seed, cutting, and pup propagation–for hands-on guidance and learning from Sustainable Little Tokyo, Artemisia Nursery, and Arlington Garden staff. Tools and gloves will be provided during the workshop or you are welcome to bring some. This workshop is part of AG’s Post Fire Series of programs to help support community recovery and healing following the January fires. Capacity is limited to 30 people. Please RSVP on Eventbrite.  

Join us on Saturday, April 12, between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. at Arlington Garden drop-in nature journaling and early morning wildlife observation with Eduardo Ochoa-Guijarro of the Pasadena Humane Wildlife Team. Pasadena Humane wildlife staff (Certified California Naturalists) will be available to help identify some of the plants and wildlife in the garden, and assist those new to nature journaling. You are welcome to explore the garden at your own pace.  Participants of all experience levels are encouraged to share their knowledge and use community science tools like eBird, Merlin Bird ID, and iNaturalist as citizen scientists and contributors to documenting urban wildlife at Arlington Garden. We will have a small selection of paper, pencils, clipboards, binoculars, and field guidebooks available for use. Feel free to bring your preferred supplies, such as personal scopes, binoculars, cameras, and journaling materials, too. While there will be some chairs and benches available, consider bringing your own folding chair or cushion for a more comfortable experience.

Join Alex Coffey of Pasadena Audubon as we welcome the first morning of May with a free hour long Bird Sit. A bird sit is a period of time spent quietly observing birds, their vocalizations, and their movements as a mindfulness practice. Birds recently seen at Arlington Garden include Townsend's Warbler, Allen's Hummingbird, Oak Titmouse...and even a Red-Shouldered Hawk eating a lizard for breakfast in the branches of the garden's large coast live oak. Quiet your mind by opening your eyes and ears to the birds around you as you greet the morning with us. Feel free to bring a pillow or a blanket to get comfortable. The sit will begin promptly at 8:30am for optimal observing. No need to RSVP, just stop in!
