Community Garden Event
2017-10-28 12:00 - 15:30
The Satellite Beach Sustainability Board would like to invite the public to join us! Saturday, October 28th starting at 12:00 pm untill 3:30pm at the Desoto Park Racquet Ball Courts. We will open with a ribbon cutting, dedication of the “Logos” Community Garden, we will have Food, live music, prizes, painting garden gnomes for kids and much more! The Board would like to encourage everyone to walk or ride your bike to the event and prizes will be given out for doing it! There were many hands that have helped create this garden, and the City is very thankful to everyone who has pitched in. The idea of the garden was brought before the Board last year by 9 year old resident Roman Vigliotti and was passed by City Council. The garden is modeled after the F.I.T. garden “Ethos” and F.I.T intern Zach Eichholz helped with the design. Eagle Scout Troop 309 helped gather volunteers to help with the build. Big thanks to the Public Works team and everyone who helped make this possible.
We hope to see you at the opening!
