Hops N Harvest Fundraising Festival

Victory Garden Foundation presents Hops ‘N’ Harvest ...

... an
event for all ages. Saturday, November 9, 2013; 1 – 5 pm; 5316 Telegraph Ave,
Oakland CA 94609.

A Kids Zone will be available featuring games, music, dance,
and garden activities. Adults will be entertained by live performances, and may
attend a number of garden classes including our title sponsor, Bison Organic
Brew demonstrating beer home brewing techniques; and local presenters with
topics such as herbal healing; preparing healthy soil for growing your edible
crops; guerrilla gardening; presenting a crop swap event in your neighborhood; and
traditional African American gardening. 

You’ll be treated to refreshments and taste from
our giant garden harvest soup presented by our Stone Soup Saturday program.
This is a great opportunity to meet and be inspired by people in the urban
agriculture movement in this outdoor and indoor event.

Along with these many activities; you’ll be able to purchase
edible plants for your home gardening needs. If you’re a home gardener and have
an abundance of fresh, organic crops; we encourage you to bring them for our
Harvest to Feed table for distribution to the Telegraph Ministry Center’s Food
Pantry – home of one of the Peoples Victory Gardens.
