Every 3rd Saturday through November some of Atlanta’s young chefs will be showing off their culinary talent at the East Lake Community Garden. Join us from 4:00-7:00 to participate in a live cooking demo and of course taste their delicious creations!
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!
Join us Saturday, June 2nd, at the East Lake Farmer’s Market for a day of family fun!
East Lake Farmer’s Market’s mission includes expanding local food access for low-income and senior residents. By accepting SNAP cards and offering the Double Your Value Coupons (through Wholesome Wave of Georgia), we help increase their buying power at our market. Bring the family to SNAP, SIZZLE & SPLASH from 10am-1pm on Saturday, June 2nd. You’ll help us raise awareness and funds to support this important community program.
Thank you to all of you who volunteered at the Saturday and Sunday workdays this past weekend! On Saturday we worked on the structure for our future herb wall and planted a ton of flowers and perennial herbs. On Sunday we cleaned up the compost area and constructed a new compost bin out of pallets. The garden is looking great! Hope you can join us for our next volunteer workday on Wednesday, May 30th from 5:00-7:00.
Come get your hands dirty, soak up some sunshine and enjoy good company at a community work day this month!
