What to Expect:

Welcome and Introductions: We'll begin with casual icebreakers to help everyone feel comfortable and get to know each other. Our community garden is a place to make connections while learning together.
Gardening Basics: Learn fundamental planting techniques, from preparing soil to planting seeds and seedlings. We'll cover what plants grow best in our local climate and how to care for them.
Hands-on Planting Activity: Get your hands dirty! Each participant will have the opportunity to plant their seeds or seedlings. Working together in the garden provides natural opportunities for conversation and connection.
Garden-to-Table Tips: Discover how to harvest and use what you grow. We'll share simple ideas for incorporating fresh produce into everyday meals and reducing food waste.
Community Building: Through shared tasks and group activities, we'll foster meaningful connections between participants. Gardening provides a relaxed environment for natural conversation and friendship-building.
Future Growing Plans: Leave with knowledge about how to continue participating in the community garden, including upcoming events and opportunities to stay involved with both the plants and people.

This workshop is designed to promote both gardening skills and social connections. The garden provides a relaxed environment where conversation flows naturally as we work together, making it easier to form new friendships.

Who Should Attend: Anyone interested in gardening and meeting new people. No prior gardening experience needed—complete beginners are welcome! This activity is suitable for all ages and abilities. Just wear clothes you don't mind getting a little dirty.
