Grow Your Garden event
10 a.m. to noon
Workshops: 10:30 to 11:30 a.m.
The goal of the Fixit Clinic is to help you extend the life of everyday items, reduce waste and gain a better understanding of how things work.
- Volunteer coaches will be on hand to help diagnose and repair things like small appliances, bikes, electronics and clothing.
- Register in advance to get paired with the right coach.
- Walk-ins are welcome as space allows, but you may need to wait, depending on availability.
The Grow Your Garden event, sponsored by the Carlsbad Community Gardens Collaborative, is a chance to get expert answers on all your gardening questions, as well as:
- Make your own seed balls using compost made in Carlsbad and seeds from the Seed Library.
- Get one pair of garden pruners or loppers cleaned and sharpened for free (must be in good working order; no serrated blades or blades longer than 2 inches).
- Talk with local Master Gardeners for gardening advice tailored to our region.
