Spring Planting with UC Master Gardeners @ Mariners

Join us at the Mariners Branch and help usher in Spring! We will start with a Year of Good Food presentation from a UC Master Gardener. They will provide month-by-month guidelines for growing fruits and vegetables year-round. Then we will head outside to decorate containers, fill them with soil, and sow seeds or plants at potting stations. Beginning and experienced growers of all ages are encouraged to attend. Make sure to visit the Seed Library while you’re here!

All ages. Materials provided while supplies last. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Funding is generously provided by the Newport Beach Library Foundation and the Friends of the Library.
