With August being the warmest month of the year in Southern California, keeping gardens growing in the heat can be a challenge.

Kids at the Boys & Girls Club of Simi Valley have just planted their first summer vegetable garden thanks to donations from a number of local businesses and organizations.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the average American household uses about 50 gallons of water a day to irrigate lawns and gardens

The summer growing season means households generate more green waste from their yards.

May usually brings out the best weather for gardening in Southern California—not too hot or too cold—just right to begin planting vegetables and flowers that will reach their peak in summer.

April is the first full month of spring and it is the time when garden planting kicks into high gear.

A garden can be a good source of vegetables, fruit and fresh flowers, but it can often be difficult to maintain when water conservation is required. To reap the most from a garden, even with little rain, plan ahead.

The Captain Planet Foundation (CPF), a nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring the next generation of environmental stewards, has created its first Learning Garden in Ventura County with help from Food for Thought Ojai and Agromin.

January in Southern California is a time to keep landscapes looking lush while preparing for the spring growing season, say experts at Agromin.

Southern California gardens will do fine without much care in December, but dedicated gardeners can still keep busy as winter takes hold.
