The Spring Thaw is our annual community gardening kick-off event. If you’re thinking of gardening this year, are interested in starting a community garden, or are already active in 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.

School gardens have been popping up locally and nationally in recent years as an effort to help children learn where food comes from and interest them in the simple and nutritious food available from a garden. Despite these efforts, many times the kind of food available in a small plot outside the school has very little in common with what’s served in the cafeteria. This Thursday night at Ragtag, watch the movie Lunch Line to get some background and perspective on the National School Lunch Program. It’s free!
