A couple of weeks ago, Brad and I spent an afternoon in the Sepulveda Basin Community Garden Center with Natalie from CultivateLove LA.

We took her Get to Know Herbs workshop and spent time learning about herb gardening with all five senses, touching and tasing the herbs (herbal tea is lovely!), and falling in love with the beautiful garden center down in the basin.

We enjoyed ourselves so much we decided to get a garden plot ourselves (we were very lucky that there were some available- usually there’s a wait list).

If you’re in LA looking for a fun, gentle, and restorative thing to do on a Saturday after brunch, I cannot recommend one of Natalie’s workshops highly enough.
