Find everything you need to start a garden of your own. From vegetables to california natives, worm composters and the garden tools you will need to get started digging in the earth.  No green thumb?  No worries!  Connect with professional landscapers, or visit the Ecology Center's garden to pick up information on their back yard skills workshops.  Molly Wood Garden Design, one of my favorite garden shops is in attendance with plenty of potted succulents that are ready for you to bring home and enjoy today.
