Whether you're a seasoned gardener looking for new tips or a curious newcomer eager to explore the world of permaculture and healthy living, the Grow Together Festival offers something for everyone.
The festival also serves as a launchpad for the exciting Sunny Sunday Series, running every Sunday from May 26 to Sept. 22 (1-2:30 p.m.).
Presenters and booth moderators at the Grow Together Festival are invited to sign up and lead captivating workshops throughout the summer and fall. These workshops will focus on promoting gardening and wellness knowledge within the community.
The Sunny Sundays culminate in a vibrant Fall Harvest Festival on Saturday, Sept. 22 (11 a.m. – 3 p.m.).
