Welcome to our Summer Garden Events page
During the summer we hope to engage families and community members in their school gardens. One way we will do that this summer is by hosting a Garden Party at each garden.
You can find the schedule of locations on the calendar below. Please follow our social media for weather related updates throughout the summer.
These events are a time to stop into the garden to explore, harvest, learn and connect with nature. You will have the opportunity to take part in a hands-on activity led by a GROW team member at each event.
Garden Parties are FREE and open to all. You can come late, leave early or stay the whole time. We just hope to see you in the gardens!
Weather Related Cancellations
In the event the heat index is over 100 degrees or there are severe weather warnings posted during the time frame of a Garden Event we will cancel the event in the interest of keeping our interns, staff and participants safe. Please look to our social media and the calendar below for current updates if the weather is questionable.
