We will meet at the outdoor pavilion (near the playground and garden) where we kick off with Siri Khalsa sharing all about leafy greens and then we answer veggie-gardening related questions with our Master Gardener and veggie guru, Arnie. Then we’ll enjoy a visit inside the community garden where you can see fresh veggies growing. Perhaps you’ll glean some inspiration for your next garden project, too.
