We had a very active season with a variety of programs including Healing Drum Circles, Cooking Classes, Zumba Classes, concerts and movie nights! Thank you all for joining us along the river at the Foodway and making this a great season. Over the next month or so, the Foodway will be expanding. The new developments will extend from the existing gardens near the Westchester entrance and will include a berry walk, fruit trees, and a dry riverbed to help with drainage of the Pol...linator and Fragrant Gardens. We're very excited about these new elements of the Foodway and hope you will be able to join us for future planting opportunities. For the time being, these new developments mean that Concrete Plant Park will be bustling as the Parks Department works to install a new raised planting bed and trees. Please bear with us as Concrete Plant Park undergoes this change over the next month or so. See more
