First Community Meeting - Sunday March 18, 11:00am

You are all invited to our first Community Meeting
Sunday March 18
11:00am-1:00pm
at Gaia Gardens, 2255 Paseo de los Chamisos (see directions here)

Gaia Gardens is an attempt to create an innovative urban farm model suited for Santa Fe.  We have a lot of land and could create an interesting showcase for a variety of soil preparations, as well as growing, composting and beekeeping methods. Classes, celebrations and events could also be weaved in the farm activities.  What we choose to do and how we organize ourselves to do it is entirely up to the community that will gather around this project.  Our exploration centers around how to foster sustainable food production in the city while also offering a social space to help build resilient community.
Please join us on Sunday for a casual discussion about your ideas, aspirations and interest in getting involved in this new experiment.

Our regular farm days for volunteers are held every Thursday and Sunday from 1:00-4:00pm (winter schedule)
