Interested in learning how to share space in your community for fun projects like composting and gardening? We can help.
We’re hosting the “Shared Spaces: Community Gardens and Composting” workshop Oct. 26. This free, in-person event at Bee Ridge Community Garden will show you how to set up community composting and community gardening activities. We’ll also take a quick tour of the garden to explore its features and related compost system. Randy Penn, waste reduction agent for UF/IFAS Extension Sarasota County, and I will share tips and field your questions. Registration is limited, though, so reserve your spot today.
Learn about community garden site considerations and more during the “Shared Spaces: Creating Your Edible Garden” webinar Oct. 21, featuring Susan Webb, UF/IFAS regional specialized agent for community gardens.
And, watch our “How to BEE Florida-Friendly in Your Edible Garden” video—part of our 5-session 2021 School Garden Workshop—which shares ways you can be Florida-friendly while growing your food.
