Sunday: Come Plant Seeds and Launch Edible Garden Lab
Seed Planting Workshop — Sunday, April 19, Noon – 2 p.m.
Learn how to start a variety of herb and vegetable seeds in cold frames to plant out later in spring and establish a special Chinese-Italian kitchen garden that celebrates the diverse culinary heritage of our neighborhood. Both children and adults are encouraged to attend. FREE.
Seed Planting is the first in a series of workshops offered by Friends of Elizabeth Street Garden as part of this year's season-long gardening initiative Edible Garden Lab. Let's engage with the Garden as a living laboratory and learn how to cultivate a vital green space that also provides a nutritious resource for the neighborhood and more opportunity for everyone to bring the Garden harvest home to enjoy.
Volunteer Orientations, before and after Seed Planting Workshop —
Sunday, April 19, 11:30 a.m. & 2 p.m.
Find out how easy it is to volunteer as little as ONE hour a month to help keep the Garden open here.
