Posted on February 15, 2013 by christina | No Comments
The City of Richmond’s community gardens initiative and partner organizations are presenting a series of six instructional classes promoting urban agriculture/gardening, starting Saturday, February 16 and continuing through Saturday, March 23 from 11am-12:30pm. The slate of instructors has been announced and includes some great names in Richmond’s green, gardening movement. The classes were originally scheduled to be held at Broad Rock Library but due to the large number of reservations, the first class will be held at Southside Baptist on Bryce (where the 9th District Community Meetings used to be held.) Check back for exact locations for future classes or read more at the Facebook event page.
