Our Sunset Farm Open House isn't actually IN a house! Nope! We are welcoming you OUT to our urban garden and garden education hub for some hands-on learning in the sun and soil. You can participate in the following activities:

- Take a Garden-to-Go container gardening class
- Watch farm-to-table cooking demonstrations
- Plant microgreens to take home
- Learn about healthy nutrition practices
- Find out what it's like to volunteer with us

The event is open to the whole family, and we'll have gardening-related activities for the kids as well! You can take your pick from one or more of the activities. Just be sure to register so we can save your spot.

And one last thing - please wear closed toed shoes (like sneakers) and dress for the weather. Also, bring your refillable water container with you.

We look forward to seeing you there!
