Welcome to Craft Collective’s Organic Garden Club for kids! It’s a weekly space where kids may enjoy a harvest-culinary-prepared treat as they learn all about plot planning, companion planting, organic gardening maintenance, harvesting, seed saving, composting, and activities that progress the garden with each season. Garden Club gives kids an opportunity to become good stewards of the garden as they see firsthand the impact of their efforts. And this school year, each meeting will include a half hour of garden-related crafting, followed by plenty of time in the garden! Gardening is proven to have a positive, grounding impact on mood and brain chemistry for all ages, but especially for children. Working in the garden helps kids grow & expand in so many ways! Kids practice and hone fine motor skills; use their five senses to learn about their environment; get excited about food and making healthy, nutritious choices; and feel connected to a larger picture and purpose in life. When we grow our own food, we are all more connected to it, and kids are especially more apt to eat things they’ve grown themselves in the garden! Our organic & edible garden is a wonderful space we’ve developed to teach the community about how gardening in a small space can be quite abundant. The garden hosts several varieties of organic fresh fruits, herbs and vegetables, and is maintained by Craft Collective and super-gardener and educator Mia Vaughnes, of Good Neighbor Gardens. Drop-ins are welcome! Is your child curious about the outdoors, gardening & taking this class? Choose ‘Drop In Date’ from the drop-down menu (please purchase 48 hours in advance so we can have supplies ready) and tell us which date you’re child will come in the Notes section at checkout. This class meets weekly, 4 times each month Children age 6+ are welcome! If you would like to be notified of future offerings, join the Interest List to be notified when new dates or spaces are available.

Camino23 is a bilingual, bicultural, binational space where actors in the region flex their muscles and train by building a supportive ensemble of artists committed to learning our plays, our history, our scholarship, and our struggles. Isabel, three sailing ships and a con artistBy Dario Fo.Directed by Daniel Jáquez and performed by Camino23, a Latinx theater collective. This insightful, satirical, subversive comedy, set after and before 1492, revolves around the tragicomic deeds of an actor who is sentenced to death for having performed a banned play by Fernando de Rojas. The unfortunate actor, while on the gallows, is offered an opportunity to do one last show with his acting company. It must be a show about Columbus and Queen Isabella.
