Dear school garden friends, 

 

Wednesday, October 20th the University of Arizona Community and School Garden Program and Tucson Unified School District will be live streaming one of our monthly workshops at 3:30pm PST. The workshop will be presented by local knowledge holders on the cempasuchil (marigolds) in preparation for Dia De Los Muertos. Marigolds have long been a school garden favorite for ease of growing, seed saving, pest control and medicinal properties. And during the month of October marigolds add a layer of cultural relevance for those living in Mexican American communities. 


If you are interested in attending, please RSVP here for the 3:30 PST remote session. A Zoom link will be sent out before the workshop. 


We hope to see you there! 

 

-Moses
