The program will be offered from May 18 through September 14. The following are the dates and themes of the Black Heritage Community Garden Project:
- 6-8 p.m. May 18 — Warm Weather Crop Planting

The Black Heritage Community Garden Project will require monitoring and tending to the new variety of crops. Join us at one or more sessions and discover how well they perform. Bring questions, water, and sun protection, and plan to get a little soil beneath your nails as we tend to these new crops.
For reservations or more information, contact CSU-E Agriculture/Natural Resources Associate Clare Thorn at cthorn@centralstate.edu or 937.376.6627.
Central State University Land-Grant programs are sponsored in part by funding from the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, a program of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
