Starting this fall on the third Sunday of the month, Arlington Garden welcomes our friends from Artemisia Nursery for their free Seedy Sundays program series!  Led by native plant nerd Antonio Sanchez, learn the ins and outs of growing California native plants from seeds, cuttings, and more. Expect to work with White Sage, Monkeyflower, Hummingbird Sage and many more fun and local native plants.This class is focused on teaching folks from our local communities about growing local plants, with the hopes of getting more low-cost native plants out into local gardens.  All registered folks get to take some seed, cuttings, soil, pots, etc. home, depending on what is worked on that week. The class is taught in English, with Spanish available - just let us know when you arrive!

Learn regenerative gardening by doing it yourself with other rad volunteers! Every second Saturday of the month from 9:00am to 12:00pm join us for a Weekend Projects volunteer project event! Participation is free and getting dirt-ish in a beautiful garden is quite  enjoyable! Most events are hands-on and skills based -- learn how to garden regeneratively with native and mediterranean climate plants by working in the soil, planting, landscaping, and learning to identify desirable plants and undesirable weeds! If you're looking to get outside, learn about our native ecosystems, battle weeds, get some exercise, or meet some new cool plant folks -- sign up now! 💚🌿

Resonance: A Yoga & Sound Journey is a monthly practice led by Pasadena-born yoga teacher (and musician) Qur’an Shaheed with a guest musician, on second Sundays of each month. The late morning/early afternoon session blends movement, breath, and live music outdoors to deepen the mind-body-nature connection. This immersive experience weaves together flowing asana, guided breathwork, and intuitive soundscapes, creating space for inner alignment and self-discovery. Rooted in both stillness and rhythm, each session invites you to tune in, release, and move in harmony with the present moment. Each month features a different musical collaborator.  Participation in yoga is optional, and if you just want to lay underneath the trees and listen that’s absolutely encouraged! Class is currently held in the lower garden underneath the pepper tree. Enter near the small footbridge close to Pasadena Avenue. These monthly classes are now free of charge with RSVP to Living Earth due to limited capacity.

Holding Space is a monthly gathering for all ages event organized by Hands in the Soil (HITS) at Arlington Garden in 2025 dedicated to rest, renewal, and collective healing in partnership with nature as we recover collectively from the Eaton Fire. Organized by Hands in the Soil, this free wellness pop-up is a wildfire wellness support effort for that centers our communities and families facing who have been directly impacted by the Eaton Fire. Intentional activations—ranging from movement and meditation to grief circles and creative expression—cultivate spaces for all to pause, reconnect, and strengthen bonds within community offer a different experience monthly. Through creativity, collective care, and connection to nature, we hold space for grief, renewal and resilience. For more information and event details as well as to RSVP, visit the Hands In The Soil website.

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.

Welcome the first morning of every other month this fall with a free hour long Bird Sit hosted by the Pasadena Audubon Society. 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!
