Strengthening Communities Through Gardening

Please join in the FREE community events, open to the public. They encourage community members to build relationships through gardening fun! Stop by one of the events below and join them in fostering a community where everyone belongs.

Earlier this year, in partnership with GRuB and the Thurston Conservation District, the South Sound YMCA began creating community gardens at Tiny Home Villages that reside in the City of Olympia and a few of the community-based gardens around the local Olympia Community (Yauger, Sunrise, and the Olympia Community Court Garden). Community members and organizations come together to plant fruits and vegetables alongside residents of each tiny home village providing an opportunity to connect with one another while also providing fresh produce for the residents.

This program provides fresh produce, fun gardening workshops, and education around healthy living. The gardens serve as an additional opportunity for residents to heal, connect with the community, and work towards establishing new and improved lifestyle habits.

• September 21 at 11 am: Watering Workshop – Sunrise Community Garden
