Goin Native Therapeutic Gardens will sell organic vegetables with hummus along with herbs and garden hats and jewelry. Kids will have the chance to play in the dirt with red wiggly worms and learn how they turn vegetable and fruit waste into healthy amendments for the garden. Eco Xpo will feature arts and crafts - including whimsical oversize butterflies - storytelling about the butterfly's lifecycle and demonstration cages for show and tell.
Expert speakers will be on hand to share their wisdom including Erik Cutter and Cat Waters.

Waters created a welcoming habitat for birds on an urban lot using plants that offer food and shelter to migrating and permanent birds. More than 100 bird species have been spotted in or flying over her garden. She will discuss the creation and evolution of her picturesque drought-tolerant urban garden in Downey.
People traveling to San Juan Capistrano can pick up a $10 Metrolink Weekend Day Pass at any Metrolink station kiosk. The pass is good Saturday or Sunday wherever Metrolink travels.
