Big Sunday happily welcomes you to Our Really Big Community Calendar

We try to include all kinds of volunteering and helping opportunities for all kinds of interests, talents, passions, and ages! As you’ll see, these include volunteering opportunities (one-time and long-term) as well as the chance to support a nonprofit by attending fundraising events. Plus, of course, we include all of Big Sunday’s homegrown events, too! Whoever you are, and whatever you do, there is someone out there who could use your help.

If you have questions about our calendar, or would like to add a listing, please contact calendar@bigsunday.org or submit your event/opportunity via the button below.

LA County Arboretum logo

Need help with your garden as we roll into summer?  The Organic Fruit & Vegetable class led by the Arboretum’s Horticultural Supervisor, Jill Morganelli, is the perfect place to look.  Jill will be taking the class to the Permasphere, Garden for All Seasons and Crescent Farm.  Please bring sunscreen, a shady hat, and wear comfortable clothes and shoes. 

The Organic Fruit and Vegetable Gardening classes at the Arboretum combine Biodynamic, Permaculture and other natural gardening techniques that align with the seasons. Each class is part of a 16-hour series that highlights how to build habitat and soil while providing solid horticultural practices for the ins-and-outs of growing organic fruits and vegetables.  Tours of the Los Angeles Arboretum Garden for All Seasons and Crescent Farm help to give visual meaning to the concepts you learn in class.  It is a great way to connect with the earth, your friends and family, and the community! 

  • Jill Morganelli, Instructor and Horticultural Supervisor at the Arboretum
  • $25 Arboretum members / $35 non-members per class (includes Arboretum Admission)
  • Please call 626-821-4623 to register

Summer – June 18, 2016

Summer session rolls in with an abundance of horticultural victories and dilemmas.  Integrated Pest Management and disease control lead the line up to help you get rid of any unwanted guests in the garden while creating a beneficial habitat for those you do want there.  Create a vibrant habitat to enjoy all year that lives harmoniously with food production. Horticultural therapy and “What Kind of Farming is It” offer thought-provoking concepts.
