Growing Good in the ‘Hood!

This event was postponed until March 30th, 2019, because of the recent snow event. Please (re)mark your calendars for this exciting seed-swap, propagation, and education event. Check for updates on the NOAG Garden’s facebook. https://www.facebook.com/events/349831348940752/

Eugene faith-based urban farming initiative, NAOG Garden, announces its first annual Seed Swap and Plant Share – a free event open to “neighbors” of all gardening skill levels – on Saturday March 2 from 12pm to 4pm at the Neighborhood Assembly of God Church, 815 Irving Road.

In addition to free seeds and plants shared by attendees (including a limited supply of fruit tree and grape scion), there will be workshops on worm composting, making elderberry syrup, small scale homesteading and neighborhood greening and resiliency plans.

Featured speakers include, but are not limited to, Jan Spencer of SuburbanPermaculture.org and River Road Neighborhood Association, Patti Leahy of WorldEnergyHealing.com, Mike Brunt of Eugene Permaculture Meetup and more.

What makes this event unique? The NAOG Garden is a small group with big plans to be a self-supporting ministry serving neighbors through their garden stand, CSA, Lane County Farmers Market, and upcoming training and apprenticeship programs.

Come make new friends, discover what this small faith-based group is doing to help with local food security and neighborhood resiliency, as well as share some of your extra seeds and take home some new-to-you seeds for your own garden this year!
