Join us at Green Spring Gardens on Saturday, June 18, 2022, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for a Juneteenth celebration in the garden to honor the emancipation of those who had been enslaved in America. Celebrate and gather as a family to reflect on the past and look to the future. Guest speakers Teri Speight and Abra Lee will discuss the past, present and future of Black garden clubs in Virginia, and environmental educator Maya Alexander will highlight the benefits of natural spaces for the Black community. During the panel discussion, there will be a mini farmer’s market and activity tables for children to enjoy. After lunch, join a garden walk or seed planting session. Pack a picnic or pre-order from local restaurant Granddaddy’s Skillet.
