What to Expect
Discover the joys of community gardening with PermaBee, a weekly program designed for families and individuals who want to connect with nature and contribute to sustainability. Each Friday morning, participants gather to plant, weed, and compost, fostering a sense of community and environmental stewardship. The program offers a hands-on experience that is both educational and rewarding.
