Building Bridges Garden Club: Planting Summer's Bounty (workshop 4)

The chance of frost has passed, and your garden is ready for summer. We'll have seeds and seedlings to share to fill in what's missing in your home garden. Think--melons, tomatoes, beans, cucumbers, peppers, squash, flowers and more!

This 4th event in the series will be guided by Fred KIMANI Anku Kenner of Gardening and Beats. You don’t need to have come to any of our previous events to enjoy this one.

We'll revisit the garden at Terrace Manor Apartments (3301 23rd St SE) and plant summer crops right there on the spot. We'll also look back at the lettuce, onions, strawberries, spinach, collards, cabbage and kale that we planted in the spring and talk about what we can do to help them grow.

Bring your questions!

This is a free club for gardeners and soon-to-be gardeners (even if you’re just growing on your windowsill) in Ward 8 to meet each other, get your hands dirty, learn some tricks, get some free plants, and have fun.

Refreshments included.

If foul weather is in the forecast, check the email you used for registration to see if we need to change our plans. The event will be outdoors. Please dress in clothes that will keep you comfortable and you don’t mind getting dirty.
