CHINO – The benefits of gardening are endless. Whether if you want to find a new hobby, enrich a healthy lifestyle or just want to start growing vegetables for your family table, then head over to Chino’s garden workshops held at the city’s community garden located on the northeast corner of 5^th Street and D Street.
The free gardening workshops cover a variety of topics including growing fruits and vegetables, harvesting, pruning, composting, and more. Workshops are presented by the City of Chino’s Healthy Chino and Green Chino Initiatives in partnership with the UCCE Master Gardeners of San Bernardino County, Kaiser Permanente and 4th District Supervisor Curt Hagman. Advance registration is encouraged due to limited space.
The next workshop titled, “The Basics”, will be held on Saturday, Nov. 21 from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. This workshop teaches participants the basics about efficient irrigation systems, soils, design practices, fertilizers and water-wise plants.
Gardening is a family affair so parents are encouraged to bring their children to participate in the Children’s Discovery Workshop that run in conjunction with the garden workshops.  Visit discovery.healthychino.com or call, 909-334-3478 for more information and details.
