Here We Grow: Beautiful & Delicious!

Annapolis Green is partnering with Founding 100 supporter Homestead Gardens in an exciting three-part spring gardening seminar series. The third is Here We Grow: Beautiful & Delicious!

Topics covered: Companion planting and the relationship between flowers and veggies for a truly Beautiful & Delicious garden!

Let’s celebrate beautiful and delicious gardens everywhere! Join Annapolis Green’s Here We Grow initiative… a modern-day Victory Garden initiative to encourage people to value the land and Nature by installing, developing or updating front yard gardens to provide beauty, food, and pollinator habitat everywhere you can! Meeting Annapolis Green’s overall organizational mission, this program resonates with many people who are gardening and cooking. Together, let’s get excited about the bounty of a summer garden, share ideas, tips and tricks.
