Gardening Events

Holy Cross offers free, public, community-wide educational programs related to sustainable gardening and food literacy and nutrition. You do not have to be a Holy Cross Health community gardener or a Holy Cross Health volunteer to participate in events.

• Events are open to the public at no cost
• Event topics may include:
  • Seasonal garden activities (planting, weeding, harvesting, etc.)
  • Organic pest management
  • Nutrition, food demonstrations, and samples featuring health-focused recipes and foods typically given out at distributions, such as canned goods
  • Composting and soil health
  • Seed starting and greenhouse use
  • Wellness and community-building activities
  • Container growing and growing in a small space
• Sessions are hands-on and offer chances to ask questions, learn new skills, and meet other gardeners and community members. These events help us strengthen community relationships and support gardening and eating sustainably.
