Update: when first posting this, I got my Saturdays confused and wrote a misleading title. The 26th isn’t this coming Saturday, but the one after. — Joe
Our annual City Farm Fest is Saturday April 26th, from 12pm - 3pm.
Do you have a garden? Do you want your plants to grow big and strong without using chemical fertilizer? What you need is compost, and we’re giving it away for FREE! We are holding our annual City Farm Fest on April 26 from 12pm to 3pm on our West Cottage lot in Dorchester. We will distribute FREE compost to neighborhood gardeners and information about healthy soil, reducing lead exposure, and tips on safe gardening in urban areas. In addition, there will be food and live music! We will also have a plant sale with vegetables like tomatoes, collards, and peppers that you can plant in your garden.
A new feature of City Farm Fest this year is our workshop called Square Foot Gardening: Tips for Maximizing Space. The workshop is from 12:30 to 1:30 and is open to anyone who wants to learn more about gardening in a limited amount of space. Additionally, we will have a tour of the Dudley Street neighborhood and its gardens at 1:45.
Please stop by for good food, good music, free compost, and a celebration of spring!
I just found out about this from a slowfood BU email…we are rookies in the community garden this year…and a bit scared! unfortunately we have a conflict today and can’t mamke it…will compost/information be available tomorrow?
thanks! looking forward to going green!
I would love to see one more day of this event, and I would like to see the event get a lot more publicity. This is an awesome opportunity to aid the Boston green-effort, and for you to make money.
Please consider sending out an email alert to all donors, all ex-employees, friends, neighbors, etc., not just those folks in the immediate neighborhood.
Please post in the papers, ensure the press attends, and tell everyone to bring a friend. (Post in the BU Slowfood email mentioned above)
Is it too late to do this once more?
