37th Bidwell Park & Chico Creeks Cleanup
Register to volunteer at the 37th Annual Bidwell Park and Chico Creeks Cleanup!
Sunday Sifter & Box Build
Join us for a Sunday Sifter and Box build! Come help construct 4 new planter boxes at the oak Way Community garden. These boxes will end up going to gardeners and increasing the amount of produce that the garden produces. After these boxes are complete, you’ll help sift compost and learn about the process of composting. This compost will end up in the boxes we build, and if you bring a bucket you can take some home with you! Sign up here. This is a bring your own tools event, if you have a drill, level, or square, please bring it to help out!
Monday Mixers
Join us at Oak Way Community Garden for our Monday Mixers!
Monday Mixers are the perfect opportunity to learn all about compost and the science behind this fascinating process. For an hour, you’ll get your hands dirty turning, sifting and creating compost.
You’ll also have time to take a tour of the garden and check out our new Free Food Stand.
As a special for our first June mixer we will be giving away FREE tomato starts courtesy of Comanche Creek Farms!
This is BYOP (Bring Your Own Pots), otherwise we will have some eco-friendly ways to get your starts home with you!
Happy planting and composting!
Sign Up here to participate in the Monday Mixer.
