Spring Work Day at the Garden

Volunteers will come together at the Family Network of Wyoming Garden to help bring a new community garden layout to life. The focus will be on mapping pathways and shared growing areas, preparing beds for planting, and clearing away remaining winter debris. It is also a chance to meet neighbors and connect with fellow gardeners. No experience is required. Bring a water bottle, plenty of energy, and enthusiasm.

Browse permanent jewelry with Jarovi Frang, try fairy or feather hair styling from LA Collective, see Kayla’s 3D printed literary themed pieces, and find book inspired goods from Nolie Co.
