Gardening Program

There’s nothing better than getting dirty, making friends, and beautifying

L.A. GOAL.

In 2001, our gardening journey began connecting us to the power of nature by growing plants and food in our own L.A. GOAL Garden. Through the simple act of gardening, we are living proof that all things grow with love. L.A. GOAL’s Gardening program is an educational space where we teach gardening, landscaping, nutrition and cooking. The Gardening program allows Members to learn about fresh produce, self-sufficiency skills, and plant development. More than ever it is a great way for anyone to socialize and spend some quality time outside.
