Spring seems to be upon us! Local community gardens are busy preparing to welcome neighbors back into their shared green spaces. These hubs are essential to community well-being—providing locally grown produce, offering arts and cultural programs, and creating spaces for people to rest, learn, and connect.

Join Noopur Bhandari and fellow community members for a peaceful afternoon of tea and friendship in the garden! Whether you’re new to the Q Gardens or Tea Arts & Culture, we’d love for you to be part of this gathering. We’ll share tea, and our Poetry and Tea director will invite you to take part in writing Odes to Common Things poetry.

FREE event. All are welcome!

We hope to see you there!
