The Connecticut Community Gardening Association (CCGA) will hold its 8th annual Celebration of Community Gardening this Saturday, September 19, at the Watkinson School, 180 Bloomfield Ave in Hartford from 8:30 to 3:30.

In addition there will be 18 workshops, including three by youth gardeners.  Other topics include Backyard Bee Keeping, Community Garden Design, a roundtable on starting community gardens and Vegetable Gardening 101.

Community gardens are springing up all over Connecticut.  This conference is a great way to connect with and learn from others involved in this important movement.
