Garden Club Meetings

Time: 10:00 AM – Noon

Please join us at the Veneta Community Center and hear Cynthia from Doak Creek give a soil prep and garden design talk. She will use our Community garden bed as an example for size, sun and use to expertly design one of the beds as our future Pollinator Garden.

Weather permitting, after the club meeting, we will have a hands on garden bed planting and put the plan into action! Bring gardening gear if you would like to participate. Snacks and drinks will be provided. It should be a fun, social, hands on learning experience!
