Learn something new in the new year! Santa Monica Public Library presents a program for kids ages 6 to 11, “Plant an Herbalicious Garden,” on Saturday, January 9, at 1 p.m. via Zoom. An expert from the Santa Monica Community Gardens shows kids how to start their own garden, perfect for a windowsill or patio. Materials, including a pot and saucer, potting soil, and seeds, are available at Santa Monica Public Library Curbside Pickup locations, while supplies last. This free program is co-sponsored with the Office of Sustainability and the Environment. Register via Zoom.
Want to learn more about gardening? Families can place holds on books through the library’s website at smpl.org or by calling 310-458-8600, and pick them up at the library’s curbside pickup windows. For some great titles, explore our Gardening and Planting for Kids list, prepared by library youth services staff: Gardening for Kids
