Coalition for a Green Glendale News Flash!

We are hosting our very first Monterey Road Eco-Community Garden Workshop that is open to the public!

Join us on June 25th at 10 a.m. with Jeff Spurier on pest management! If you have a vegetable garden at home or plan to have one this will be essential for sharing knowledge among gardeners and hearing some tips from an expert! Jeff Spurrier is a Master Gardener, trained at the University of California Cooperative Extension. Jeff contributes his services to communities, sharing his knowledge and expertise. We are excited to have Jeff back with us to learn more insightful information about our gardens.

When a leaf does not look right, we try to figure out what is wrong, why is it curling, is that rust, is that mildew, as we closely monitor our gardens. Then there are those holes in the leaves, and even worse, what bored the holes into our vegetable? Now we can find out the answers! And, we can learn tips on preventative measures that can be taken! This is very valuable information for those growing vegetable gardens.

Please do RSVP at greenglendale@gmail.com so that we know how many people are attending. An ongoing challenge at our evolving gardens is lack of seating. If you're okay with standing great, but if you need to sit after a while we encourage you bring a folding chair or something to sit on. We hope to resolve this issue once we have proper funding!

Where: 827 Monterey Road, Glendale, CA
When: June 25th, Saturday, at 10 a.m.

Parking: Please park with caution. Crossing Monterey Road can be very dangerous. I recommend parking on Coronado, which is just East of Garden West and sees much less traffic.


Thats it... thanks and let me know if you have any questions.

Best,
