Growing library garden programs

WebJunction / 01 May 2024

"Library gardens offer a great way for community members to come together to learn, grow, and contribute towards a healthy, balanced environment. And creating a vibrant community green space or gardening program doesn’t have to be complicated. Across the country—and beyond—libraries are growing gardening programs in their own unique ways. As you explore some of the gardens and programs here, you’ll notice that community partnerships represent a common thread running throughout all of the programs. Local businesses, master gardening groups, arts organizations, and community government can all play important roles in growing a successful library garden program."

Id0l Jam is happening in September in Somerville! :mexcitedmiku:

After there was some issue with the venue for the summer, Metam0re is now hosting Autumn Id0l Jam on September 29 at Arts at the Armory in Somerville. A day of Idol Showcases, singing, cosplay, and other idol and anime related stuff. (And now conveniently located in my city, no more needing to take the commuter rail :TamakoLaugh: .)

More info, and applications for performances and for vending space (I think they're especially looking for more artists to vend, anyone who's got some nerdy stuff to sell): https://autumnid0ljam.carrd.co/
