Gardening 101

Start your garden with confidence.

New to gardening or looking to strengthen your basics? This comprehensive class covers the essential skills every gardener needs: understanding soil, proper watering techniques, fertilizing fundamentals, plant selection for San Diego's climate, and seasonal timing. Learn the "why" behind gardening practices and gain confidence to grow anything from vegetables to flowers. Perfect for beginners and anyone wanting to refresh their knowledge.

Since 1972, we've focused on simple growing methods, time-tested advice, and locally-grown plants.

We'd love to invite you down to our open-air canyon classroom for casual learning, informed by over 50 years of experience.

Free to attend, no RSVP required.

Class times can change or shift, we recommend you check our website for the most up-to-date (cityfarmersnursery.com).

Parking Notice for Class Participants If you're attending a free class and are able to walk a short distance, please consider parking on Altadena Ave and walking over. This keeps our lot available for customers shopping at our three businesses who may be on tight schedules.

When classes fill up, a full parking lot can prevent other shoppers from visiting our stores. By parking on the street, you help ensure everyone can access our businesses.

Planning to shop? No worries! You can easily swing back through our "Loading Zone" after class for convenient drive-up loading of bulky purchases—no parking required.
