Sow & Grow Gatherings

These monthly events bring our diverse community together by combining volunteering with workshops on food and gardening topics. Meet new people, gain knowledge and skills, and contribute to the local food justice movement! Everyone is welcome. No experience needed.

Every second Saturday from 1-3 pm
