The City of South Pasadena in partnership with South Pasadena Beautiful and Friends of South Pas Nature Park presents the 2025 Sustainability Fair, Plant Swap and Garden Tour in the Nature Park.

DESCRIPTION:

* Sustainability Fair

Meet the sustainability team of the City of South Pasadena to discuss crucial programs aimed at enhancing our city’s environmental initiatives.

Connect with members of various environmental organizations to gain insights on how you can adopt a more eco-friendly lifestyle.

* Plant Swap

Once again, South Pasadena Beautiful will host its popular annual plant swap. The public is encouraged to participate by bringing a plant to exchange. Please bring your plant in a pot and label it. People always ask what the plant is and sometimes, we don’t know! Also, please do not bring an armload of cuttings. We want all plants to get taken and not end up in a compost bin. Artemisia Nursery, Bellefontaine Nursery and Bartlett Tree Experts have generously donated native and low water use plants for the event.

* Garden Tour

Embark on a leisurely stroll through the park accompanied by knowledgeable volunteers during this year’s Garden Tour. Experience South Pasadena’s own superbloom. Kids can follow the Story Path or embark on a Nature Scavenger Hunt.

The day will be full of fun activities, all intended to help us as a community learn how to live lightly on the land.
