Online Education
For decades the Civic Garden Center has been THE place to go to learn about gardening, horticulture, and urban sustainability. In the face of Covid-19 we are continuing to fill that educational need through online education, including videos, resource lists, and relevant articles posted on this page and on social media. Check out some of our videos below, more are on their way!
Our mission is building community through gardening, education, and environmental stewardship. Now more than ever maintaining a strong community to support one another is vitally important. In isolation, we must stay together.
