Please register, so that we can plan for adequate seating and light, individually-wrapped refreshments. Tables and chairs will be distanced. Many thanks to Scott Berndt and Lana Hapeman for hosting at a most appropriate location. Who was Nick? Nick Melquiades was the lead advocate for a community garden in the Northside neighborhood, in fact, he helped write the grant that funded the $3M urban greening project. Nick served as the Riverside Garden Council chair and was a founding member of the Riverside Food Co-op and Riverside Food Systems Alliance. We are deeply saddened that we lost Nick to the pandemic, and now name the garden in his honor for his dedication to making healthy, local foods available to all.
