Bend Parks and Recreation Youth Community Garden: It’s going to be awesome! There will be four two week sessions from June 21-August 13. We’ll be gardening in a plot at Hollinshead, but will also be at Westside Village Magnet School’s Community Garden as well. In addition to getting their hands in the soil, the youth involved in the project will get to go on field trips to nearby farms, cook delicious meals, make jam, make salve, build hoop houses and worm bins and celebrate at the end of the summer with a harvest party! If any Bend CSA members have kids between 10-15 who might be interested, please encourage them to register! If there are any extremely interested 8-9 year olds, we are open to including them as well.
