[Elizabeth Lane]

Dear ECP Community, 

We hope you're having a great start to your week. Remember to take time to yourself during this busy end-of-quarter period. Please see below for our Week 9 updates! As a reminder, all are welcome at any of these events.

1) Upcoming Workshops

We host a variety of different workshops every week. Some are "garden education," where we teach you the basics of growing your own food at home or in a garden. Others are "nature wellbeing," which are more focused on mindfulness and getting you outside in nature! All are welcome to attend any of our workshops. 

Please find descriptions, locations, and times by clicking on the sign up links below. 

3/2 - Spring Reset: Planting Rejuvenation (TODAY w/ FREE FOOD!)

This week's I.V. Green Workshop:
