Join TMF and local volunteers for a three-day event to clean up and make minor improvements to our VFW 4443 Community Garden.

Saturday, October 5th and Saturday, October 12th will be days focused on fall season planting, repurposing a greenhouse, and cleaning out and painting the Outdoors and Garden Education Center. Snacks and lunch will be provided.

Then, on Saturday, October 19th, we will dedicate the VFW Community Garden to the memory of CPT Paul Pena, who fell in the line of duty in Afghanistan. Please be sure to register for this separate event.
