Sunday, March 13 • 2-4 p.m.
ARC (Activities & Recreation Center), 1701 W. Ash Street

If you’re thinking of gardening this year, or are interested in starting a community garden, don’t miss this annual organizing meeting. You can sign up or confirm a plot to grow your own vegetables and flowers and meet garden leaders and fellow gardeners. You can also learn about how to start a community garden. Newcomers are welcome.

We’ll also be giving away free seeds and providing tasty snacks!

Community gardens around Columbia are beginning to get organized for spring. If you’re helping lead a garden this year, don’t forget about the Garden Leader Meeting this Sunday, February 27, 2-4 pm, at the Friends Room, Columbia Public Library.

If you’re a community gardener, now’s the time to get in touch with a garden leader. Previous gardeners should reconfirm their interest so leaders will know you want your plot again. (You can e-mail leaders directly from each garden’s page.) New gardeners or those looking for a new plot can also get in touch with a leader at the garden of your choice or fill out our contact form, and we’ll put you in touch.

New and old gardeners, don’t miss the SPRING THAW, March 13, 2-4 pm at the ARC. This is our annual meet-and-greet organizing event. You can connect or reconnect with your fellow gardeners, pick up some free seeds and confirm your gardening plot. Learn more about how community gardening works while you enjoy good conversation and tasty snacks.
