LA Sanitation & Environment is teaching home composting and urban
gardening! Learn how to turn kitchen scraps and yard trimmings into
a nutrient-rich soil amendment. You'll also learn about urban
gardening topics including container gardens, California native
plants, proper irrigation, seasonalgardens, etc. Smart Gardening
workshops feature the east valley's infamous horticulturist, Steve
List
[https://www.dailynews.com/2014/12/31/steve-lists-high-school-horticulturists-are-cultivating-a-green-revolution/]. Compost
bins, worm bins, and mulch are available, while supplies last. City
of Los Angeles residents can purchase compost bins at a discounted
rate of $20 (checks only, proof of residency required). All sales are
final. If you'd like to take free mulch in bulk for residential
use, bring your own container and shovel.
Please note that events may be cancelled in the event of inclement
weather; feel free to call in advance. Our website

SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR PARTNER, STEVE LIST, HORTICULTURIST
Steve List teaches agriculture at Sylmar High School. He and hundreds
of students have helped launch a green revolution of flowers, fruits
and vegetables across the northeast San Fernando Valley. From their
labor, Steve and his 200 students now donate thousands of organic
plants each year to local schools, nonprofits, community groups, and
low income residents.
His students have designed, built and given away 100 four-foot raised
bed gardens for families without fresh fruits and veggies. They have
helped MEND (Meet Each Need with Dignity), the Valley's largest social
service organization, distribute another 100. They also lead
best-practices WORKSHOPS ON PLANTING, harvesting and nutrition for
working families.
To date, Steve and his Sylmar High horticulturists have found homes
for an estimated 100,000 trees, plants and seedlings, and has ensured
that many families benefit from freshly picked produce.
