This fall, the Lompoc Public Library System will announce its participation in Neighborhood Forest’s Free Succulent Program in an effort to inspire youth environmentalism, and help make the community and homes more green.



Parents and guardians are asked to fill out the following online registration form by Oct. 28. Those who register will receive a free succulent in mid-November.



Register by going to https://www.neighborhoodforest.org/parent-registration-fall-program/?school=97473.



Those who sign up will have the option to donate or purchase additional succulents and plant-related educational products.

Note this is optional and any purchases/donations will help fund more free plants for kids in the program.



Plants will be delivered to the Lompoc Public Library, and staff will contact registrants when it is time to pick the plants up. The anticipated pick-up date is mid-November.



Instructions on planting and caring for the plants, along with species details, will be emailed a few days before their delivery and will be accessible in the “Resources” section on the Neighborhood Forest website.
