This year, we are excited to announce that we will be hosting a children’s educational garden plot in the Hinckley Community Garden. Kids can visit with their adults anytime to help care for the garden and harvest veggies to take home. There will be signs throughout the plot that explain what each plant is, how you can help take care of it, and how to harvest. Take some for yourself and leave some for others to enjoy as well!
Plus, join us for the following public garden activities:
