Still time to sign up! Join us this Sunday August

Still time to sign up! Join us this Sunday August 1st for another hands-on workshop on the art of citrus tree care! Led by our pals at @fruitstitute

From July-Oct., Fruitstitute will offer 7 weekend workshops, all hosted in the Arlington Garden Orange Grove🌳🍊

Each workshop will begin with a lecture on seasonal citrus tree care, including tree assessment, tree biology and physiology. This discussion will be followed by a 2-3hr. pruning session, where participants will get hands-on experience pruning citrus trees, with the our beautiful citrus grove as a classroom.

Our monthly speaker series- Roots and Regeneration

Our monthly speaker series- Roots and Regeneration-is back with a new speaker! Join us in the garden on August 14 from 10-11am to learn about soil regeneration with @l_fang🌿🪱 Link in bio to register!

Lynn Fang specializes in soil and compost ecology for community-based compost farm projects. She works primarily on urban projects focused on alleviating environmental justice and fostering a culture of care and inclusivity. She has a master’s in compost biology from the University of Vermont, where she looked at using compost to suppress plant disease and the microbiology of compost. She is passionate about applying scientific knowledge to her work in the field and the community, and teaching others about the power and influence of microbial ecologies around them, especially in the soil.

This talk will include an optional hands on workshop to gain a deeper understanding of soil health and soil regeneration.

The Roots and Regeneration series highlights local experts from a variety of garden-related topics to promote Arlington Garden's values of supporting ecological diversity, environmental stewardship, and cultural enrichment.

We launched some major revitalization projects in

We launched some major revitalization projects in the past year, thanks to our successful 2020 crowdfunding campaign!🎉🎉

If you have been to the garden recently, you know that one of the largest of these projects is the meadow reconstruction. Here you can see some of our incredible volunteers who helped us get to work with this project!🌿🌱

For this year’s crowdfunding campaign, we now have raised over $11,000, which is almost 70% of the goal! We are on track to raise the full amount, but we need your help! We are also excited to announce that our board has generously agreed to match the first $16,000 raised by the campaign. This makes every donation even more important.

Thank you to all who support the garden in any way. We are so grateful for your help in making the garden possible💚

This summer, bring your elementary aged child to Arlington Garden on Saturday mornings to make art with recycled materials and community waste. 🌱🌎

All classes are free and taught by local high school students/climate crisis experts who are members of the group BanSUP (Single Use Plastics) students as a part of their project Plastic Against Plastic.

The link to register for eventbrite is in our bio, but drop-ins are also welcomed. All materials will be provided, but please bring your own water and sun protection.

Plastic Against Plastic is a project to bridge public disconnect from the plastics crisis through community education, art, and advocacy. All pieces created at these sessions will be used to advocate for progressive climate legislation.

This week while we were trimming back our grapevin

This week while we were trimming back our grapevines, one of our volunteers found some hornworm caterpillars!🐛💚

These little fellas love feeding on grapevines, but we don’t mind because we have lots to eat!🍇😋

We think this caterpillar is an achemon sphinx caterpillar. But we also think he looks a lot like Yoda! Swipe to see for yourself 👀
