Join us on Saturday, September 11 at 10:30am as we explore: 
 

Southside Community Land Trust's Community Gardens
500 Broad Street, Providence, RI
401-273-9419

Join us on our first-ever urban hike! We'll stroll through the streets of southern Providence and visit a few of the 13 neighborhood-based community gardens in the Southside Community Land Trust (SCLT). We may even be able to harvest some of the vegetables! After the hike, please join us for lunch at the Friendship Cafe, which serves some of the food produced in the gardens. (Each person is responsible for purchasing her own items.)
