Tending Rock Point - Prepping the Garden

Tending Rock Point is a series of workshops where we practice collaborative stewardship and reciprocity with the land at Rock Point. By integrating agricultural activities and ecological restoration throughout the year, we take a holistic view of land stewardship and find our place as humans in the ecology of Rock Point. In each session, we will spend part of our time learning about a topic and the rest of the time working on a project together.

In this session we will take a tour of our large community garden space and learn about soil improvement strategies, our annual cycle of bed management, and compost system.

For the work party section, we'll focus on bed prep, path mulching, and fence repairs.

Participants will be invited to come back and participate in the community garden throughout the rest of the season. Yields from this garden are shared with volunteers, local mutual aid projects, and at public Rock Point Center events.

We will meet in the parking lot at 5 Rock Point Road, which is right across the road from the garden we'll be working in.

Bring water, snacks, and footwear and clothing that can get dirty!
