Hello from the Gorge Park Community Gardens
We are hosting a Fall Celebration on
Sunday, September 23rd, from 1 to 4 pm

Our event will have several educational and fun activities like a veggie contest; tours of the garden with an emphasis on pollinators; treasure hunts and games; information booths for sustainable living; baked goods and donations of Art from the Attic for sale; and a few other activities.
We envision a nice display of vendors and artists promoting their work among us, that’s why we are contacting you. If you would like to join us to create your Plein air painting of the gardens or activities, we will be delighted to have you. If you are a vendor, we would like to have you selling your art work free of charge. All we ask is a 10% commission of your sales total.
Please see below the links with further information about the Gorge Community Gardens and feel free to email me back with further questions. Thank you very much for considering our request and please let me know if you are able to join us.
Yours truly,
