This
will be an extraordinary event with an emphasis on interactive learning and low
cost do-it-yourself and demonstration activities. We have expanded our
favorite booths from last year, and added many new gardening booths and
activities. New features include a raised-bed veggie garden planting
demo, make your own rain barrel demo, make your own container garden, butterfly
gardening, firewise landscaping, a City of Austin composting class (free
kitchen collection container and 75% reimbursement for compost units), along
with much more. We've also added a focus on nutrition (including cooking
and grilling demonstrations, healthy snacks and produce tastings, SNAP
registration counseling, a farmers market booth, etc.). There will be
tons of activities for kids, and freebies include: seedlings, container
gardens, raffled rain barrels, kitchen compost bins, food and produce tastings,
hula hoopercise, and free classes on a range of subjects. Sound great? Here's the information you need to know to join the fun:
WHEN: Saturday, April 20, 2013 9:30AM- 1:30PM
WHERE: Zaragoza Park & Rec Center- 2608 Gonzales Street Austin, TX
COST: Free!
Of course I will be there answering questions about insects, so bring any samples that you need to have identified.
