I popped by the REC Community Garden on Oread Street this afternoon to buy some seedlings, but I was an hour early for the event! No one there, even though they looked set up! Pretty space! – Rosalie Tirella
Volunteers needed!
These are the hours and days and more info re: the event (re-posted):
Did you forget to buy your seedlings at REC’s Spring Garden Festival?
Wanna learn proper planting techniques, succession and companion planting, and general garden care?
