GARDEN: Second Sunday Garden Share

Great place for "garden talk". All are welcome.

  • Date: 05/10/2026 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM

“I don’t want to share my garden secrets”, said no gardener ever!

In fact, many experienced gardeners would agree the best thing about gardening is sharing our harvests, our seedlings, and our knowledge with each other. Every second Sunday, the "Eddie" Souza Community Garden opens its gates to all novice and experienced gardeners everywhere in a cultural garden exchange. Each month we will highlight a topic to discuss, however all topics (and plants) are on the table! We hope you can bring seeds, seedlings, recipes, garden food, plant cuttings, or even questions to exchange with your neighbors. No one will be turned away for coming empty handed. The time of the exchange will vary due to the weather so please check the Community Garden Webpage for updates! This event is free and family friendly.
