Arlington Garden is a climate-appropriate, habitat garden offering learning, inspiration, and enjoyment for all.

NOTICE: For the safety of our horticultural staff, during the COVID-19 pandemic, we will be closing the garden on Tuesday’s for maintenance until further notice.
When the garden is open, we recommend you do not use the furniture, maintain six-feet from others, wear a face mask, and bring your own hand sanitizer. When the garden is very busy, please consider limiting your hours there.

Instead of a freeway, we built a garden! Open everyday, 8am-6pm except CLOSED on Tuesdays. No entry fee, unless taking photography shoots.

Let's get creative in the garden!💚🌿 This sum

Let's get creative in the garden!💚🌿 This summer, bring your elementary aged children to the garden on Saturday mornings to learn how to make art with recycled materials and community waste ♻️🎨🖌 All classes are free and taught by local high school students/climate crisis experts who are members of the group BanSUP (Single Use Plastics) students as a part of their project Plastic Against Plastic (@plasticagainstplastic)

The link to register for eventbrite is in our bio, but drop-ins are also welcomed. All materials will be provided, but please bring your own water and sun protection 🌞🧢

Plastic Against Plastic is a project to bridge public disconnect from the plastics crisis through community education, art, and advocacy. All pieces created at these sessions will be used to advocate for progressive climate legislation. #PlasticCrisis #ArlingtonGarden

It’s hot out here today!🌞🔥We are dreaming

It’s hot out here today!🌞🔥We are dreaming of cooler days, like this cloudy April morning when we got a mulch delivery. Check out that steam!

One of the many benefits of mulch is that it helps the soil retain water and stay cool on hot days like today!😎

If you are outside today, bring plenty of sun protection, drink lots of water, and try to find a cool tree to relax under! 🌳🌿

Thank you to @pasadenahumane and @laursoutdoors f

Thank you to @pasadenahumane and @laursoutdoors for teaching visitors how to be good neighbors to our local wildlife. We had the opportunity to release a Band-tailed Pigeon (Patagioenas fasciata) in the garden. This young bird was found injured in a parking lot in Pasadena, rehabilitated by the dedicated staff of Pasadena Humane, and released in the garden.
This native bird will hopefully keep visiting the garden to enjoy the acorns, toyon berries and manzanita berries, as well as other native seeds we grow.
To ensure all of the wildlife around us stays safe, please keep your distance, secure your trash, never use rodenticides, and plant native plants for animals to survive.

ATTENTION gnome friends: The Arlington Garden gnom

ATTENTION gnome friends: The Arlington Garden gnome needs a name!🍄🌿🌼

The Arlington Garden gnome lives under the little bridge near the seasonal wetlands area. He sits snug and hidden by the bridge, so most people walking by don't know he's there at all. You could look and look and not find him!

Last month, friends of the gnome submitted 80 names to the garden. A panel of judges conferred with the gnome to narrow down the submissions to 11 entries, but the gnome needs your help making a final decision!

Help the gnome pick a name by choosing your favorite name from the final entries. Swipe to see the names and vote with the link in our bio!

Please vote only once! Voting closes on June 20th, 2021. Final name will be announced on June 21, International Gnome Day!
