About this Event

This workshop will teach you how to turn kitchen scraps and yard trimmings into a nutrient-rich soil amendment. Home composting is taught by a team of ten rotating LA Sanitation & Environment green waste specialists. Each participant will take home a free garden plant at the end of the event. Some workshops even have surprise guests!


L A's favorite horticulturist, Steve List, will be with us to share his monthly Urban Gardening topics:

  • January - Bare Root & Fruit Tree Pruning
  • February - Soil Preparation & Getting your Garden Ready for Spring
  • March - Spring Planting, Veggies & Flowers
  • April - Herbs, Pollinators & Drought Tolerant Plants (California Friendly)


Compost bins ($20), Wing Digger aeration tools ($8), and worm bins ($20) are available to City of Los Angeles residents for purchase at these discounted rates, while supplies last. Gaffey Nature Center only accepts checks, and all sales are final. Proof of City of Los Angeles residency is required for purchase - a recent utility bill and valid state-issued ID with your current home address.


Free bagged mulch and compost are available free in limited quantities for your residential gardening project.


Parking on the residential street is at your own risk. Please do not block any driveways as there is a possibility that the vehicle will be towed. The entrance to this location is 720 W Summerland Place under the Gaffey Street underpass.


Please note that events may be cancelled in the event of severe inclement weather; if the workshop is cancelled we will notify you via email. We will also post cancellations to Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.


All registered City of Los Angeles residents who attend the workshop will be entered into a drawing to win a FREE rain barrel! Please note that if your household has received a rain barrel from the City of Los Angeles in the past 12 months, you are not eligible for the drawing. Registration is encouraged but not required.


Visit our website or call our friendly 24-hour Customer Care Center at 1-800-773-2489 if you have any questions.


We look forward to meeting you!
