The city of Beverly Hills Community Services is offering a new four-part adult gardening series at Greystone Mansion & Gardens Demonstration Garden, 905 Loma Vista Drive in Beverly Hills, beginning Sept. 8. The classes run through Nov. 3, and are taught on Sundays, from 10 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. Greystone Demonstration Garden is a dedicated outdoor area at Greystone Mansion and Gardens where people can come together to learn about and promote the benefits of locally grown, organic food that is sustainable and cost effective.
The four-part gardening series for adults includes the following workshops: How to Grow a Winter Vegetable Garden, Sept. 8; How to Grow an Herb, Spice and Tea Garden, Sept. 22; Indoor Gardening – How to Take Care of Your Houseplants, Oct. 27, and The Birds of Greystone, Nov. 3.
Those who sign up for the four-part series will get four classes for the price of three. Individual classes are $19 each ($15 for Beverly Hills residents). Also, there is still space available for the final summer gardening class, How to Grow a Pollination Garden, on Aug. 25.
A Children’s Gardening Workshop takes place on Oct. 6. The class will teach children basic gardening, including seasonal activities such as seed starting, soil prep, transplanting and harvesting fresh produce.
Additionally, all are welcome for the Saturday Morning Garden Club on Nov. 2 at 8:30 a.m. Volunteers will help with garden and grounds maintenance. Registration is required to volunteer at the Demonstration Garden, and for all gardening classes. Register at beverlyhills.org/bhrec, and click on the Greystone Park tab.
