About this Event
Join us at The Battery Urban Farm for some projects for all ages in the vegetable farm. This is a fun and active event for community members and families looking to get outside and get dirty! Farm staff will lead participants in the tasks needed to keep our farm growing – this could include planting, weeding, spreading mulch, harvesting, and more. No experience is necessary. We recommend this event for ages 5 and up with adult supervision and participation; younger siblings are welcome. Please note that we expect those bringing children to help out and work alongside them.
Tickets are free and required for this event. We offer two time blocks to choose from: 9:30am to 10:45am, or 11:00am to 12:15pm. You will be able to choose from available slots after clicking "Reserve a Spot".
Please make an effort to arrive at the start of your selected time block, so you don't miss any instructions!
Location: Meet at the entrance to The Battery Urban Farm, marked on this map. Please note that Maps applications often misplace the farm entrance, so you should use these coordinates to help bring you to the meeting spot. Please also note that the northern side of the park is currently under construction, so you will need to enter the park along State Street (the map linked above outlines areas blocked off by construction).
What to bring: We will provide gloves for all participants, though you're welcome to bring your own if you have them. Please bring a water bottle and wear closed-toe shoes and any layers and sun protection you will need to be comfortable outside for the morning. This program will occur light rain or shine; in the event of inclement weather, participants will be e-mailed in advance with notice of any changes.
After the tour, we hope you will linger to enjoy the rest of the park, including our Playscape and vast perennial gardens. Learn more about The Battery at www.thebattery.org.
