Watering Solutions workshop

Strengthening Communities through Gardening

Posted
Join the South Sound YMCA for free community events, open to the public. Community members may build relationships through gardening fun!
 
On September 21, join the Watering Solutions workshop at the Sunrise Community Garden.
 
  • Unveiling new rain barrels
  • Olla Watering System demonstration
  • Rain Chain Crafting table using garden scrap and upcycled materials
Earlier this year, in partnership with GRuB and the Thurston Conservation District, the South Sound YMCA began creating community gardens at Tiny Home Villages that reside in the City of Olympia and a few of the community-based gardens around the local Olympia Community (Yauger, Sunrise, and the
Olympia Community Court Garden). Community members and organizations come together to plant fruits and vegetables alongside residents of each tiny home village providing an opportunity to connect with one another while also providing fresh produce for the residents.
 
This program provides fresh produce, fun gardening workshops, and education about healthy living.
 
The gardens serve as an additional opportunity for residents to heal, connect with the community, and work towards establishing new and improved lifestyle habits.
 
Stop by one of the events below and join in fostering a community where everyone belongs.
