Thinking about the amazing events we had between our two urban gardens this past weekend🪴

On Saturday morning, we hosted our first First Saturday in the Garden! This monthly event kicks off with a free Pilates course by Gianna Hawkins , and continues to a free workshop with Integrative Medicine Undergraduate Club focused on healing and making health knowledge accessible to all. Thank you so much to our partners for coming out and joining our community, and to our participants for coming out anf joining our community!

On Sunday, volunteers from Repair the World Miami | Jewish Service Movement came out to our Pinewood Garden to help our gardener, Troy, with some maintenance and repairs. Thank you for your dedication to service, and for being such a great partner to us!

We can’t wait for more weekends like these! Stay tuned for our next First Saturday in the Garden (November 7th😉) and recurring volunteer opportunities.
