The 2011 Plant Providence Calendar is officially over! What a delightful second year it’s been. We’ve definitely gained more momentum and interest for 2011 than the year before. About 375 people attended (up from 280 last year) our workshops, learning everything from urban chickens, to container gardening, to food preservation, composting and so much more.
Thanks to all who supported this initiative whether you were a workshop instructor, a sponsor, a community garden leader who hosted, or just someone who used the calendar to learn more about growing food. The Plant Providence Calendar is a community effort that you all helped be successful!
We’re excited to jump right into the planning for the 2012 calendar. Stay tuned in February for the debut of the calendar at our Urban Agriculture Spring Kickoff at the Roger Williams Park Botanical Center. In the meantime, please consider supporting the Plant Providence Calendar. Your contribution helps keep the calendar thriving and the workshops affordable. Here’s to making food growing more accessible to all – together we’re making Providence a more edible city!
