Whether you are a seasoned gardener or just starting out, this event has something for everyone. Come grow with us!

Availability is very limited, we encourage you to reserve in advance. Your purchase will help support the future of the Grow Your Own program. (view details of the high elevation seedling sets available for purchase)
UCCE Master Gardeners of Lake Tahoe will be providing informative hands-on demonstrations and will be available to answer all your questions about what grows best in our region. They will cover topics such as plant selection, soil preparation, watershed friendly practices, and pest control. Additional demonstrations and vendors will be exhibiting container gardens, raised garden beds, compost, and more. View a full list of the South Lake Tahoe event activities
For those looking for inspiration, you can tour the gardens at each location to get ideas for your own garden. And, learn about volunteer opportunities that help you learn as you grow!
The Grow Your Own Garden Festival is a must-attend event for anyone interested in edible gardening or simply looking for a fun and educational day out.
