Fall Flora Walk
A Fall Plant ID Nature walk at the farm and on Whipple Hill. We’ll focus on basic identification characteristics primarily looking at native species, including a plant Native Americans used to supposedly cure “craziness” as well as one they used to wash their hands, a few best identified using our noses, several that are edible and medicinal along with a few non-natives. And we’ll discuss specifics on native vs. non-native. Cost: $25/$20/$15 (tiered).

Gardens for Good
Earth Day at McCue Garden Center
Come learn about how you can help alleviate food insecurity in your neighborhood while repotting and take home a tomato plant.
Be part of a network of gardeners who grow vegetables in your yard or help others grow in their yards. Then we'll collect and donate what we grow to the Council of Social Concern and the En Ka Food Pantry. If you can't garden you can still contribute by sharing some of your lawn to turn into a garden.
