Hello everyone,
Here is our next run of events. The following events will all be focused towards our largest garden, the First Presbyterian Church garden. It is roughly an acre in size, has provided space for 30 families to grow their own food (unfortunately on 15 or so families last year), a volunteer hot-spot and approximately 3,500 pounds of produce donated to the local food bank last year alone!
Hope to see you on one of the following dates!

Time: 6:30 - 7:30 p.m.
Where: The First Presbyterian Garden; 950 N. Boones Ferry Rd.
