2024 is a year of transformation for our garden. We’re adding a fence that will turn the land into a cozy container, we’re adding a fire pit, a ramada with solar panels, and an outdoor kitchen and plenty of seating. All of this will provide affordances for more community events at the garden like:
These events will create more community connection while raising awareness about what’s possible to grow in our yards by bringing people to the garden who might not otherwise come.
