Starting this fall on the third Sunday of the month, Arlington Garden welcomes our friends from Artemisia Nursery for their free Seedy Sundays program series!  Led by native plant nerd Antonio Sanchez, learn the ins and outs of growing California native plants from seeds, cuttings, and more. Expect to work with White Sage, Monkeyflower, Hummingbird Sage and many more fun and local native plants.This class is focused on teaching folks from our local communities about growing local plants, with the hopes of getting more low-cost native plants out into local gardens.  All registered folks get to take some seed, cuttings, soil, pots, etc. home, depending on what is worked on that week. The class is taught in English, with Spanish available - just let us know when you arrive! Please note: the first edition of the workshop will be in the afternoon, with future workshops from 9-11am on Sunday mornings. To reserve your space in the workshop, register on Eventbrite.    

Holding Space is a new monthly gathering for all ages event organized by Hands in the Soil (HITS) at Arlington Garden in 2025 dedicated to rest, renewal, and collective healing in partnership with nature as we recover collectively from the Eaton Fire. Organized by Hands in the Soil, this free wellness pop-up is a wildfire wellness support effort for that centers our communities and families facing who have been directly impacted by the Eaton Fire. Intentional activations—ranging from movement and meditation to grief circles and creative expression—cultivate spaces for all to pause, reconnect, and strengthen bonds within community offer a different experience monthly. Through creativity, collective care, and connection to nature, we hold space for grief, renewal and resilience.

Resonance: A Yoga & Sound Journey is a monthly practice led by Pasadena-born yoga teacher (and musician) Qur’an Shaheed with a guest musician, on second Sundays of each month. The late morning/early afternoon session blends movement, breath, and live music outdoors to deepen the mind-body-nature connection. This immersive experience weaves together flowing asana, guided breathwork, and intuitive soundscapes, creating space for inner alignment and self-discovery. Rooted in both stillness and rhythm, each session invites you to tune in, release, and move in harmony with the present moment. Each month features a different musical collaborator.  Participation is optional, and if you just want to lay underneath the trees and listen that’s absolutely encouraged! Thanks to a generous grant, these monthly classes are now free of charge with RSVP to Living Earth required due to limited capacity.

Welcome the first morning of every other month this fall with a free hour long Bird Sit hosted by the Pasadena Audubon Society. A bird sit is a period of time spent quietly observing birds, their vocalizations, and their movements as a mindfulness practice. Birds recently seen at Arlington Garden include Townsend's Warbler, Allen's Hummingbird, Oak Titmouse...and even a Red-Shouldered Hawk eating a lizard for breakfast in the branches of the garden's large coast live oak. Quiet your mind by opening your eyes and ears to the birds around you as you greet the morning with us. Feel free to bring a pillow or a blanket to get comfortable. The sit will begin promptly at 8:30am for optimal observing. No need to RSVP, just stop in!
