Olla Making Workshop
Join us this Saturday for a make-your-own Olla workshop! An Olla is an ancient method of irrigation that allows a clay pot filled with water to slowly seep water out to supply moisture to plants. You’ll get to make a small Olla using the coil method of construction under the direction of Chris Tholl of “Red Wall Studio”. Our pots will dry and then be fired and will be ready for garden use.
When: Saturday, June 9th, 10:00am-12:00pm
Where: East Lake Community Garden, 56 2nd Ave SE
Cost: $10-$20 sliding scale, free to observe and learn
RSVP to eastlakecommunitygarden@gmail.com or call Carling at (301) 518-7103
Looking forward to seeing you!
Come see the sheep being sheared this morning
Our sheep have needed their hair cut for a while. It gets hots under all that wool. Our shearer will be out this morning around 10:30 to take care of them. If you’re interested in seeing the process, come on out to the garden this morning to observe.
