A a fungi-focused community education group organized by mycologist Aaron Tupac, Exploring the Mycoverse meets to intentionally cultivate community and discuss how fungi can remind us of our interconnectedness. It is a values-based community inspired by fungi working together to learn how to be in better relationship with the more-than-human world. Each workshop is unique with a dedicated topic, and approaches to exploration have included guest speakers, book discussions, the Fungi Film Festival, and more.  All events are free and open to the public - you are always welcome to join! Founded by mycologist Aaron Tupac in July 2021, Mycoverse has hosted over 100 workshops, reaching more than 1,000 people. The Mycoverse usually meets twice a month on alternating Mondays, in the Olive Allée at Arlington Garden.

Join Arlington Garden, Altadena Seed Library, and the Horticulture Team from the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County for this free hands-on germination workshop focused on CA native seeds. Learn about naturally-occurring processes such as cold stratification, hot water scarification, and smoke-stimulated germination and how to employ them in your own wildflowering growing, as well as techniques for sowing your wildflowers in-ground. You will leave with a seedling of your own and an experience of how wildflower seeds germinate through natural processes found in California climates!

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!   

Sunday December 7 will mark the return of Arlington Garden's biennial holiday market from 10:00am to 2:00pm! Featuring sustainable gifts, art, food, home goods, beauty supplies, accessories, and gardening supplies including plants: all from local vendors who share our commitment to environmental stewardship. Enjoy shopping in an idyllic garden setting with bird song and curious lizards. There will be many unique and desirable objects at the market that cannot be found anywhere else! The bazaar is free to enter (to free up your cash to support the vendors), and a portion of all sales to vendors will be donated to the garden. Vendors will include Arlington Garden in Pasadena, Bel-rouh Bakery, Earth Melody Skincare, Firebrand House, Kate Lain. Kathryn Hillier Ceramics, Leila and Company, Michael Blasi, Moshir Calligraphy, Ms Larsen‘s Botanical Inks, Patchouli Nomad, Siranush Designs, Sustain LA, and more. Arlington will also have our famous organic sweet orange marmalade made from oranges grown in our orchard and produced annually after harvest by venerable maker E Waldo Ward. Our marmalade will be on offer by the jar and by the case — a great stocking stuffer, hanukkah, or winter solstice gift! Rarely found outside of Pasadena, the marmalade is an excellent choice to send to wow out-of-town family and friends.

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.

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! To reserve your space in the workshop, follow Artemisia on Eventbrite.    

Learn regenerative gardening by doing it yourself with other volunteers! Every final Saturday of the month from 9:00am to 12:00pm join us for a Weekend Projects volunteer event.
