Event Details

Vamos Pa'fuera a Plantar with GALEO and Latinxhikers at the E.M.B.A.R.C. Community Youth Farm! Join us on Saturday, September 14, 2024 from 10AM - 2PM for some fun on the farm!

Bring the whole family for a day filled with learning how the Earth pours into us, and taking time to pour back in with gratitude.

We will begin with a tour of EMBARC where we will see their community garden, greenhouse, pollinator garden, forest & trail system, and beehives. We'll then have lunch together (provided by GALEO) as we learn from Park Naturalist Jennifer McLaurin, Ed Morgan from Bean's Bees and Honey, and Susan Meyers from Monarchs Across Georgia. We'll then finish the day with small service projects to support EMBARC with garden and trail maintenance.
