ActiveSGV Rain Gardens Volunteer Day in El Monte

Together we'll be transforming a community member's garden into a water-saving, habitat-rich ecosystem — and you'll learn practical skills you can use at home.

What you'll learn: Our team will guide you through the final stages of a full garden transformation. The groundwork is already done — sheet mulching, soil building, and swale shaping to capture rainwater. Now it's time for the fun part! You'll get hands-on, planting beautiful California native plants perfectly adapted to our local climate and ecosystem, and placing locally sourced rocks and boulders to tie the whole garden together.

If regenerative gardening excites you, this one's for you. Come ready to dig in, bring your questions, and leave with the knowledge and inspiration to transform your own outdoor space.
