Alameda Backyard Growers will once again have a table with our our Spring Plant Sale at this fun community event! ABG volunteers have worked hard and had fun preparing for weeks to be able to offer you a selection of organic tomato, veggie, flower and herb starts!
As always, we grow tomato starts that we know from our own experience do well in Alameda. This year, we took some hints from our February Tomato Poll and selected what you told us you would love to grow. We’re also growing starts of cucumbers, zucchini, squash, peppers, and herbs. Due to last year’s popular demand, we’ve increased our offering of flower starts. Attract bees, butterflies and other pollinators to your garden, secure in the knowledge that our flower starts have been grown from organic seed, and are free of neonicotinoids.
We’ll also have activities for kids, and information on all the programs and projects ABG does around growing and sharing food in our community.
Join us, rain or shine, along with a field full of vendors, bouncy houses and other activities at the Alameda Point Gym & Field and get there early before supplies run out! Let’s celebrate spring and gardening – for ourselves and our families, for the sake of Mother Earth, or just for the sheer pleasure of it all!
Learn the basics of composting and how to turn your food scraps into rich soil for your garden – because compost happens! Lori Caldwell of StopWaste will be doing a hands-on demonstration at Ploughshares Nursery.
Learn:
- How easy it is to transform yard and food waste into gardener’s gold
- The benefits of composting
- How to make, harvest and use composted soil
- Hot and cold composting, Hugelkultur and worm composting.
Join us and have fun!
