Please join the Community Food Forest Collective for our last planting and mulch work party of the season (maybe):

Where: at the Takoma/Silver Spring campus of Montgomery College (Philadelphia and Chicago Aves)

When: Sunday 26th May 10am to 2pm

We're going to be potting up native seedlings, planting trees, shrubs and other perennials, and mulching (for what would a weekend be without some mulch)

There will be lots to do and learn and we'll have a number of permaculture experts on site to answer questions and guide the work.

Please bring your own gloves and water if you can!

SSL hours available!
