Cooking Demonstration with Chef Marvin and Healthy Eating and Active Living Milwaukee
Come join us at Kilbourn Garden as we celebrate our Groundwork community! We’ll be grilling brats, burgers, and vegetarian options. There will be free seeds and seedlings for everyone and a prize drawing for Groundwork volunteers and Kilbourn gardeners!
We'll start the afternoon at Hepatha to plant five new fruit trees. Borchert Field has been inactive before this year, and our work will help kick off a new start to the space. Finally, we'll end the day at Nia Purpose to help this budding garden bloom!
As the growing season begins, we’ll be traveling garden to garden picking up trash, repairing beds, and setting these greenspaces up for spring success! We’re looking for volunteer support. Come join us! Support Placita Verde Pop-Up, 10am-12pm. Story Garden, 1pm-3pm, Madison Pocket Park, 3pm-5pm. We’d be happy to have you for any or all of these clean-up activities.
Please join us for a fun, stress-free social over beers to support Groundwork’s efforts to grow leaders, greenspaces and environmental equity in Milwaukee. Buy a beer for your favorite Groundwork volunteer! Thank you, Indeed Brewing Company, for donating profits for the day to Groundwork Milwaukee, in support of the work we do in the community!

Learn how to get involved with your local garden with speakers Venice Williams (Alice’s Garden) and Dave Johnson (Cream City Farms). They’ll speak about their experiences engaging community in their greenspaces. Register.
