Earth Friendly Gardening: Protecting Wildlife & the Environment

Join the UC Master Gardeners of Monterey, San Benito & Santa Cruz Counties for this hands-on summer workshop at the UCSC Arboretum!
Classes are free with paid admission, but registration is required to attend. You are welcome to take one, two, or all four classes which occur on the last Sunday of the month, June through September.
Your garden can do more than look beautiful – it can help protect the environment and support local wildlife.
Discover simple, practical ways to create a healthier, more sustainable landscape by providing food, water, and shelter for pollinators, birds, and other beneficial creatures. Learn how to reduce pesticide and fertilizer use, conserve water, and work with nature to grow a thriving garden that’s easier to maintain and better for the world around you.
Classes are free for UCSC Students or with an Arboretum membership which includes free admission to the gardens as well as a whole host of great benefits. Consider becoming a member today by visiting our website: arboretum.ucsc.edu
