The Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency (SCV Water) is excited to announce the launch of the SCV Water Gardening Club, a new community-focused program debuting in 2026.

The Gardening Club is a year-long series of expert-led workshops designed to help residents create beautiful, sustainable, and water-wise landscapes suited to the Santa Clarita Valley.

The Gardening Club kicks off with its first workshop on Saturday, Jan. 31, from 9 to 11 addm., at 23780 Pine Street, Newhall, CA, featuring Intro to Container Gardening: Veggies, Herbs & Pollinator Plants.

This in-person class will provide practical tips for growing food and pollinator-friendly plants in small spaces and is open to gardeners of all experience levels.

The Gardening Club builds on SCV Water’s popular landscape and conservation workshops, reimagining them as a cohesive “club” experience that encourages ongoing learning, hands-on participation, and community connection.

Workshops will cover a wide range of topics, including container gardening, native plants, landscape design, composting, edible planting, wildfire-resilient landscaping, and family-friendly activities.

“The Gardening Club is about more than plants — it’s about building community,” said Matt Dickens, sustainability manager at SCV Water. “By bringing people together throughout the year, we’re creating opportunities for residents to learn practical skills, connect with local experts, and grow landscapes that are beautiful, water-efficient, and resilient.”

Most Gardening Club workshops will be held on Saturdays and offered in a mix of in-person and virtual formats.

The 2026 lineup includes hands-on design workshops, bilingual lawn replacement classes, a kids` gardening activity, and a year-end celebration for club participants.
