The City of South Pasadena’s Sustainability Division is thrilled to unveil the City’s first Landscape Academy—where green thumbs of all skill levels unite! 🎉 Join us on an exciting journey to educate, empower, and equip residents with the tools you need to create stunning, water-conscious, drought-tolerant landscapes right in your own backyard. This is not just a program – it’s a commitment to nurturing a deeper connection with nature and cultivating a healthier community for all! 🌍💚
Our brand-new learning series will offer six in-person, hands-on courses packed with practical tips and techniques to help you master water-efficient landscaping. Each participant will receive supplemental materials, resources, and tools for each course. Better yet, you’ll meet neighbors with similar interests and projects that you can team up with and learn from. Join all the classes or just the ones that speak to you. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, there’s something here for everyone!
🌟 Mark your calendars! Our first training kicks off on NOVEMBER 13! Don’t miss out—secure your spot today using the link below!
