Activities will include proper planting techniques, mulching, and other steps needed to complete the garden. Please bring a refillable water bottle, gloves, close-toed shoes, a sun hat, sun screen, and anything else you need to be comfortable.

3) Sunday 11/6, (8am-12) Permaculture In Action – Creating Spaces to Thrive

A collaboration with the Moab Folk Festival and CommuniTea Garden.

Meet at the CommuniTea Garden, corner of 100N and Walnut

The CommuniTea Garden is a non-profit permaculture inspired gathering space in the heart of Moab. During this hands-on workshop we will be creating spaces for people and pollinators to thrive in our urban setting. Join in the fun of building native bee shelters out of salvaged materials that will be artfully sculpted into a wall, and get your hands dirty helping to build earthen benches around our upcycled urbanite patio. All ages and skills are welcome. Come for morning tea or drop by anytime during the event.
