community nourishment

We are a cooperative community garden in downtown Tacoma and a 2020 recipient of a Tacoma Creates grant for educational outreach. Stewards work together to grow and share produce. 50% of what we grow is donated to support food security in our neighborhood.
Learn new skills and enjoy the garden! We have volunteer hours on Wednesdays and Saturdays. You can commit for the season as a garden steward or drop-in for a day. We welcome all helping hands! All volunteers share in part of the harvest after we donate our bounty to local food banks. Send us a message if you would like more information!

MISSION STATEMENT:
The Gallucci Learning Garden is part of a larger network of gardens in the Hilltop owned and managed by the Tacoma Urban Land Trust which includes the Viet Huong Community Garden. The Tacoma Urban Land Trust’s mission is to acquire and preserve green spaces in our Hilltop community, help connect neighbors to one another, nourish and sustain our ethnic diversity, and provide education to our younger and older community members as well as provide space to grow nutritious foods.

About the event
This class will begin with interactive storytelling where all attendees will play a part. The story will be followed by hands-on activities that include simple science experiments and exploring with magnifying lenses. Next will be an art project related to the story and the experiments. Everyone will receive handouts to take home for further learning.
This class will focus on the water in soil and the chemical reactions that happen there. Children will learn about the nutrients that make up the food for plants and how these nutrients get changed in the water so plants can use them. They will also learn about how good soil structure is necessary for the water to flow around plant roots. Adults and children will be given information to help them understand the different types of fertilizers.
Registration is required. This is an in-person event.
