Our next gathering

Urban Garden Gang* Update

We'll be gathering on Wednesdays, June 4 & June 18 from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. at Stumpjack Coffee Co., 1606 Washington Street, Two Rivers. The format for these two gatherings will be a 15 minute presentation, followed by conversation, question and answers, sharing photos, etc. Come when you can, stay as long as you can.

We know you are busy with your gardens, but we want to stay in touch during the gardening season. Our goal is to support urban gardening in it's many forms. Besides, it's just fun to sit down with fellow gardeners, have a great coffee drink, and talk gardening! Bring your friends along - let people know about us.

Do you have photos of your urban garden? Do you have questions or comments about urban gardening? Post here or send us an email (see addy below).

We've taken vendor space at the Two Rivers Farmers' and Artisans Market on Saturdays. Stop down and see us - the market is open from 8 a.m. - 1 p.m. on Saturdays. You'll find us near the band stand - look for the Urban Garden Gang sign.

We are currently selling fresh produce and bedding plants from Soozee's urban garden, rain barrels, Maria's market bags and other items made from repurposed fabrics. We also carry other local items (more items added each week):

Maple syrup
Six-year old asparagus roots and sprouted garlic cloves from an organic garden
Rhubarb from an urban gardener

We're looking for other locally raised or produced items - especially those with a sustainable theme or feature. Do you have something that you might want to offer through our booth? We'd be happy to work with you to make that happen, just send us an email.


*Where did that name come from - Urban Garden Gang?
We were having a coffee at Stumpjack Coffee Company and tossing out names for the urban garden group. We didn't want to use the word "group" or "club", so we were coming up with some unique suggestions - mostly we were struggling with the name. David, primo barrista that he is, looked at us over the screen of his laptop and said, "Why don't you call yourselves the Urban Garden Gang?" - and there it is, our new name. David chuckled as he noted that our acronym would be UGG. Thank you, David.
