Don't have a garden bed to plant a tomato plant in? Then this is the event you want to attend.

Each resident or family will go home with their very own tomato plant to get them started on their gardening experience.

With Special Guests: UC Master Gardeners of Orange County and UCI Center for Student Wellness and Health Promotion

The University of California Master Gardeners of Orange County, California, are a dedicated group of trained volunteers that share information about gardening in and around the Orange County area. The purpose of the UC Master Gardener Program is to extend research-based, scientifically accurate information to the public about home horticulture and pest management.

UCI Student Wellness and Health Promotion will provide an engaging resource booth with tools for wellbeing and self-care as well as a mindfulness meditation session led by Toni Martinez.
