About The Event:
Join us on January 13th at Festival Beach Food Forest!
Festival Beach Food Forest is a grassroots pilot project neighboring the Festival Beach Community Garden and RBJ Residential Center in East Austin. We have transformed 2/3rds of an acre of City Park Land into an edible forest garden where visitors can openly forage and enjoy fresh food on the shores of Lady Bird Lake. Fruits, nuts, vegetables and herbs now flourish in this experimental pilot project to reclaim the public commons.
We'll be spreading mulch + compost, weeding, watering, and tending to special projects like path maintenance, trimming, and harvesting! Dress accordingly and bring a bottle of water. Street parking available all along Waller, in the surrounding neighborhood, and side streets.
Post volunteering happy hour will be at Lou's Eastside!
