ACORN Garden

Sunday, April 26th, 2009
Loving Spoonful is helping to host the ACORN Garden at Oak St. Garden.


The ACORN Garden is a family-friendly donation and learning garden at the Oak St Community Garden.  It provides a place where everyone can volunteer to help grow food for donation to local meal programs and food banks.  It is a great opportunity to learn about growing food, to meet other gardeners, and to share with the community.  Experienced gardeners are encouraged to take part and share their knowledge and skills with new gardeners.


Volunteers who help in the ACORN Garden will be encouraged to harvest some of the bounty for themselves.  Most of the food grown in the ACORN Garden will be distributed to local meal programs through Loving Spoonful or used in upcoming educational workshops such as  Make YOur Own Baby Food and Tomato Canning.

There will be a work bee in the near future, check back for more information soon!
