This hands-on tour andworkshop will explore the key steps in establishing a thriving garden, including fencing techniques, no-dig methods, laying cardboard, spreading mushroom compost, and the importance of teamwork in sustainable agriculture.

Participants will also learn about the installation of a simple irrigation system to ensure crops receive consistent water throughout the season. All produce grown through this project will be donated to local food banks—nourishing our neighbors and strengthening our community.Come ready to learn, connect, and grow something that matters!
