Spring Tea 2021

The events of this past year have taken a toll with lives lost and our paths changed forever. We all hope for a light at the end of the tunnel.

It is close for some. Yet, before we get back to a new normal, let’s take a moment to recompose and reset our anchors.

Each community garden has its own unique story shaped by its community through time.

We invite you to the GreenThumb community gardens on Open Garden Day to take a journey with us this Spring, learn more about these vital green spaces,

the communities and stories near us and safely reconnect through tea and arts.

BYOT. The event is FREE. RSVP is required.
