Fall is here and that means it’s time to prepare our field for winter. Join us on Saturday, October 14 for our annual garlic planting activity!
Date: Saturday, October 14, 2023
Time: 10 am - 12:30 pm
Location: 1832 W. Dean Avenue
During our time together, we will:
Plant garlic for next year
Sow winter rye seeds for our cover crop
Connect with community members who care about our mission
This will be our first year using a cover crop in our primary field. Over the summer, our youth team enjoyed learning about how cover crops support soil health and suppress weeds in the spring. In 2024, we’ll turn this into green manure to add nitrogen back into the soil.
Food, beverage, and good conversation are included in this free event, which is open to all ages. We will enjoy squash soup, made from winter squash we used as decorations at our Harvest Dinner. Roasted kale stalks will be on the menu for a tasty treat. These are edible and similar to broccoli stalks. Apple cider and tea will also be available.
We believe in the community-building powers of growing and sharing food together. This event is an opportunity to support our mission, connect with other youth and adults in our network, and celebrate fall. We hope to see you there!
