Do you enjoy gardening? Do you like to talk about gardening? Are you a plant geek?
Come join Healthy Archuleta’s growing guru at the Pagosa Springs Community Garden starting in May.
Last year’s Garden Conversation meet-ups were not only fun, but also educational and enlightening, with lots of “Oh wow; that’s a great idea” kind of talk.
The Pagosa Springs Community Garden is a local community garden maintained by some of your neighbors, located right along the Riverwalk on the San Juan River (right next to the Geothermal Greenhouse Partnership domes). It is free and open to the public to visit every day.
So, plan to join us this lovely mid-spring season, starting with our first gathering on May 17 from 9 to 10 a.m. Yes, it’s only for an hour, but feel free to stay longer and just enjoy being outdoors, listening to the sounds of the San Juan River flowing nearby. Bring a folding chair, a favorite morning beverage and even a snack if you like. Sometimes, someone in the group goes a little crazy and brings freshly baked coffee cake. Nice way to start a weekend, right?
Future dates for the Garden Conversations are every other Saturday morning, May 24, June 14 and 28, July 12 and 26, Aug. 9 and 23, and Sept. 13 and 27. For more information on gardening-related activities in the Pagosa Springs area, please visit the Healthy Archuleta website and check out the calendar of events: https://www.foodcoalition4archuleta.org/events--happenings.html.
Can’t wait until May 17 to start talking about gardening? There are still a few spots open in our five-week Seed to Supper Garden Education Course starting Wednesday, April 23. These sessions take place on Wednesday evenings from 5 to 7 p.m. and will be hosted at the local community gardens.
