THE LILLIAN KAWASAKI ECO GARDENER PROGRAM 

Make your beautiful garden the envy of your neighbors while simultaneously saving water and creating a productive ecosystem in your backyard! The Lillian Kawasaki Eco Gardener Program teaches residents about the multiple benefits of planting a sustainable garden through a series of in-person and virtual classes. Whether you attend one or all of them, you are certain to walk away with knowledge about sustainable garden design concepts as well as plant and material selections for creating an attractive, water efficient garden. All classes are FREE, but require registration.

The Eco Gardener program educates residents on popular topics that cover sustainable landscape design, drought-tolerant plants, stormwater capture, edible gardening, and irrigation basics. See descriptions of each class below, then click the sign-up button when you are ready to register! If you’d like to sign up for our mailing list or are interested in hosting a workshop in your community, please use the sign up botton to contact us.
