Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or a beginner, this in-person event is perfect for anyone looking to enhance their gardening knowledge or skills. You’ll have the opportunity to learn from expert gardeners and fellow gardening enthusiasts, who will share their knowledge and tips on various gardening techniques. From choosing the right plants for your garden to proper soil preparation and maintenance, we’ll cover all the essentials you need to know to help create a thriving garden.

On November 18, we are pleased to host City of San Antonio Urban Forest Steward Program training in AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE and ENGLISH for our November 18, 2024 Gardening Essentials class. Training will include all aspects of tree care, from selection to pruning and maintenance; and how to water properly from fresh-in-ground to maturity. You will get to know the characteristics of every tree species that San Antonio Parks and Recreation plans to give away in the 2024-2025 season.

Who should attend?

  • Everyone who values shade on a sunny day.
  • Everyone who wants to breathe clean air.
  • Everyone who cares about the future of San Antonio.

We encourage every member of GVST to participate in this training for us to be up to the new standard of training for volunteers for these events, and to be prepared to share the most accurate information wherever we support other community events. In addition, we encourage all community members who are tree-curious or want to improve your own knowledge about local native trees to utilize this opportunity to attend training that is usually only available for City volunteers. This Essentials class will be invaluable to all current and potential volunteers with City tree adoption events to join us to participate in this new program required for City volunteers.

Those who complete the training during Gardening Essentials are NOT required to volunteer with either GVST nor the City of San Antonio, but we both would welcome you to do so if you choose to!

Gardening Essentials is a free event and open to the public! Suggested donation $5.

Gardening Essential Extras include:

  • ​Plant Exchange: Bring in your plants so GVST & friends can find them a new home!
  • Potluck Social – Meet & Greet: Bring your favorite dish to share and enjoy lunching with our group!
