Garden member Sofia is planning a series of fiber and plant-based color/natural dye workshops. Join to learn more about plants, how to use them to make dyes, and make your own floral prints! Dates and times for workshops below:
9/28 Sunday 12pm-2pm
10/4 Saturday 10am – 12pm
11/1 Saturday Flora Printing and twining at the annual Pumpkin Smash
Here are some photos from previous workshops, where garden members transferred color from the petals of a yellow cosmos and coreopsis flowers.
Thanks to the Parks Department, our garden received a huge pile of wood chips. A small but determined group of gardeners put them in place. Now, we have beautiful new paths throughout the garden!
Great progress was made on the shed organizing project this weekend! Claire L and her intrepid group emptied and inventoried the shed, discarded some items and organized the rest. What a difference. Stay tuned for the next phase of the shed project — shelving, labels and more.
Vivienne will be singing original compositions while playing a Loop pedal station. She and her husband also collaborate on a bean-to-bar chocolate project—a company that proactively empowers female cacao farmers of Virunga State Park in Congo. Sample chocolate nibs will be distributed.
Ishkara Heqwabti

Come get your home grown plants Saturday and Sunday, May 24-25, 31 and June 1st 10am – 6pm and support Prospect Heights Community Farm in its biggest fundraiser.
Led by our Master Gardeners, a group of around 15 garden members walked through the garden to collectively put fresh eyes on what needs doing this garden season. We identified some small projects and some big ones (like organizing the new shed and clearing the main garden paths). It was a very uplifting way to start the season.
We’re close to ushering in our 27th season of community gardening at Prospect Heights Community Farm! We meet monthly at the garden from April to November (with one virtual meeting to escape the heat in August).
Please note the dates below.
Sunday, April 27 at 12 pm Saturday, May 17 at 12 pm Sunday, June 22 at 12 pm Wednesday, July 16 at 6 pm (potluck) Tuesday, August 12 at 6 pm (virtual) Sunday, September 14 at 12 pm Saturday, October 4 at 12 pm Saturday, November 8 at 12 pm
