Next date: Saturday, July 18, 2026 | 09:00 AM to 10:30 AM

Join us IN PERSON on Saturday, July 18, 2026, for a free Garden Design Seminar hosted by the City of Long Beach.

Ready to create a garden that’s both beautiful and climate-resilient? This design seminar will walk you through the process of planning a landscape that captures rainwater, conserves resources, and thrives with local conditions.

You’ll learn how to:

• Understand and contour your landscape to capture and retain rainwater
• Calculate and site a rain garden for maximum benefits
• Create hydrozones to improve irrigation efficiency
• Choose climate-appropriate plants and group them for visual impact and function
• Integrate permeable hardscaping elements that support drainage and aesthetics
• Apply key design principles, including “right plant, right place,” plant forms, accents, and color
