Franklin Park Conservatory is holding some free gardening workshops at the Stoddart Avenue Community Garden over the next four weeks:

  • Extending the Season

    Wednesday, August 25th 6:30pm-8:30pm

  • Garden Scavenger Hunt

    Wednesday, September 1st 6:30pm-8:30pm

    In this class, families will search the garden for what belongs and what doesn't. Along the way, we will discover how new and familiar vegetables grow.

    Learn more about the benefits of eating fresh, local fruits and veggies.


 

  • End of Season Gleaning and Cleaning

    We will explore ways to harvest and store garden produce so that we can enjoy the fruits of summer long after the killer frost.
