Summer Garden Gathering (Jul 12)
Take a break and spend time outside in the Fruit and Vegetable Garden, where we'll host a variety of activities throughout the summer.
Garden Gatherings brings together music, hands-on activities, and connection activities designed to help you slow down and reset. Programming features Urban Growers Collective and DJ Ca$h Era, with activities set throughout the garden and garden classroom.
You can move through the garden to learn about this summer's seasonal plants or drop by the classroom for an hands-on activity.
Food and drink are available for purchase on site, with room to gather, move, or explore at your own pace.
