Happy early spring! This is the time of year we start to notice all the nettle patches around the garden and beyond. Nettles are an excellent wild food to forage and they are loaded with nutrients.

PLEASE BRING:
1) Gloves and clippers (or scissors) 🧤 ✂️
2) Wear long sleeves, pants, and close toed shoes.
3) A reusable cup to enjoy some nettle infused tea.

We will have community members to share knowledge and resources to take home along with your fresh spring harvest!

See you in the garden🪴

Join Dirt Girls Collective and Connor Jones for a day-long compost workshop.
Come learn how to build useable, nutrient-dense compost in one month or less using the hot compost method. Not only does composting reduce your household waste and boost your garden's productivity, but it also provides an outdoors exercise routine that engages you with the steaming microbial biome in your own backyard.
Studies show that inhalation of certain microbes in compost and garden soils boosts seratonin levels - composting has never felt so good!
