A celebration of the creatures who bring us the fruits and flowers, this educational event combines information on nature’s busiest bees and their friends with live performances of opera and musical theatre. The afternoon will include fun craft activities for all ages and a garden tour, during which time Opera on Tap Boston’s performers serenade visitors with songs on the loveliness of the natural world.

Volunteers will help out at a Craft Station that will help visitors learn all about pollination and what we can do at home to assist our pollinator friends! Rain Date: Sunday, May 25

About FRIENDS OF THE COMMUNITY GROWING CENTER INC

Location:

PO BOX 76, SOMERVILLE, MA 02143, US

Mission Statement

The Friends of the Community Growing Center seeks to educate and engage the full population of Somerville, with a focus on children and youth, to provide an open and welcoming location that educates on a broad spectrum of nature related topics, allows direct engagement with nature, fosters positive community interactions and allows for a culturally enriching experience through internally managed and externally collaborative programs or projects.

Description

The Somerville Community Growing Center (SCGC) is much more than a green space; it is where community grows. Situated on a quarter acre of gently sloped hillside near bustling Union Square, Somerville, it hosts rich programming including environmental education and cultural performances and offers unique volunteer opportunities. Initiated in 1994, the Center is a model for urban land use and collaboration between city government and local nonprofit and community agencies. This urban oasis was designed and built by local residents and is maintained by volunteers. Visit our website at www.thegrowingcenter.org to learn more about what we do.
