Help transform a community member’s garden into a water-saving, native plant landscape while learning practical skills you can use at home.

The ActiveSGV Rain Gardens Team invites you to volunteer with us! Together we’ll be transforming a community member's garden into a water-saving, habitat-rich ecosystem — and you’ll learn practical skills you can use at home. What you’ll learn: Our team will walk you through the sheet mulching process — an eco-friendly technique that removes lawns while improving soil health. You’ll see how it works and learn tips for handling different types of grass. You’ll also see how we shape the ground to create swales and capture precious rain, allowing the garden to thrive with minimal watering.
