Summer 2021
Vedgewater Workshops
This summer, Edgewater Environmental Coalition and 6018North present Dig In, a monthly gardening conversation series about native plants, soil, water, and cultural ties to locally grown plants. Together with Nance Klehm, Melissa H. Potter, and Carmen Vidal-Hallett, we explore various types of native planting, feminist gardening, rain gardens, and soil amendments. Programming will launch from Vedgewater community garden, and is free and open to the public.
Please RSVP in advance to help our planning process, and so that we may reach out if the event is rescheduled due to inclement weather!
