Our community gardens are inherently mindful spaces. They are quiet, nourishing, and hopeful, full of tender care. But when we come in focused only on the tasks at hand, we can miss the small details that make these natural spaces so beautiful. Join Kaneel in a guided meditation, all proceeds will benefit Cultivating Community.

Summer won’t last forever, but our gardens can continue feeding us deep into the fall. Join Cooperative Extension and Cultivating Community for this final session of the Urban Growers Summer Series, and learn strategies for successfully extending the growing season. Participants will learn about the species that thrive in the cooler days of fall, how to plan and time your fall plantings, and techniques for protecting plants from the cold and wind. This workshop will prepare you to harvest well after the first frost!
Are critters nibbling on your veggies? Are plants developing strange colors, or wilting unexpectedly? Join Cooperative Extension, Cultivating Community, and MOFGA for an interactive tour of the common pests and diseases that appear at the height of summer. We’ll search over fruits and under leaves to help growers increase their comfort with diagnosing what ails their plants, and learn strategies for improving the health of their gardens.
