About the Event

Roll in by bike (or foot), meet some neighbors, and help transform the Bike Library’s new outdoor space with 12 elevated raised beds, all designed for beauty and snacks.


We’ll do 30 minutes of teaching, 30 minutes of hands-on establishment, then 30 minutes of hang-out time to swap tips and enjoy the glow of establishing something together.


What you’ll learn:

  • How to place raised beds for sun, access, and low maintenance

  • How to assemble a raised bed kit (without a meltdown)

  • Simple soil fill strategy for strong starts (soil provided by Lucy's Soil)
