One of the highlighted events is the H.O.E. (Hands on Organic Education) in the Local Food Garden. Come spend some time in the Local Food Projects Organic Garden, get your hands in the dirt and take home some knowledge to use in your own backyard. Get to know the Broadfork, a favorite tool in the Garden to till and prepare the soil. Then visit the Parking Space Garden, where you can really see how much you can grow in even the smallest of spaces. These workshops will take place on Wednesday and Thursday 10-11 and 3- 4 Gloves are provided and wear shoes that can get dirty, be careful someone may be trying to trick you into plowing the whole garden
