Emerson-Garfield Community

Growing Neighbors Tour de Farms event is coming up on September 16th from 9-noon. There are 4 gardens, featuring edible plants, that are available to tour “open house” style from 9-10:45 a.m. All are welcome to visit as many as possible (preferably by walking, jogging, or biking) then gather at the Shadle Library for a cooking demo, snacks, prizes, produce exchange, and celebration from 11-noon.

This is a chance for us to inspire others to grow and share healthy food and relationships in their yards or neighborhood community gardens near them. We’re also hoping folks will be inspired to donate toward Growing Neighbors to help continue our mission. We’d love your help promoting this!

Know of another garden in the Corbin Park area we should add? Have access to any prizes we can share? Have questions or ready to RSVP? Let us know at 509-327-5522 or growingneighbors509@gmail.com.

Thanks!

#MeetOnMonroe September 9th for Art on Monroe, a one-day event where local businesses host over 70 artists and crafters along the Emerson-Garfield neighborhood sidewalks.

This is a free, all-ages collaboration between North Monroe Business District and Chrysalis Gallery. We hope to see you there!

And, if you are an artist, don’t forget to stock up on your supplies at our local Spokane Art Supply! They have everything you need to help create your masterpiece.

Some of you have already heard or seen, but the installation has begun on our neighborhood gateway sign and sculpture installation! We are organizing a dedication event to celebrate its completion on August 22nd at 10AM. I hope you can make it! If you are able, please share the attached flyer and/or the Facebook event with your channels so we get the word out to our neighborhoods. I know it is short notice, but it took some time to figure out the timeline of everything.

Thank you for helping let our neighbors know about the event! Pollyanne from the Office of Neighborhood Services will also be printing some of the flyers to post along Monroe and Garland. If you are willing to help hang posters contact her at pbirge@spokanecity.org

Thanks everyone so much and I can’t wait to celebrate with you!
