About the Series

Join us for our Barangay Community Garden Lunch & Learn Workshop Series — a relaxed, practical midday learning hour rooted in the real work happening in the garden.

Bring your lunch, grab a seat, and learn alongside neighbors. You’re also welcome to enjoy some of our light snacks and share food together while we talk through the day’s topic.

We plan to offer a virtual participation option when possible. However, because many sessions are hands-on and weather-dependent, online access may vary week to week. We’ll post updates if a session will include a live virtual component.

Topics We’ll Cover
