Supa Fresh Placemaking Project! (all ages) *Stand Together Week*
The Supa Fresh Youth Farm is partnering with Metro, the City of Tigard and the Tigard-Tualatin School District to build a unique park space on the grounds of Metzger Elementary School. In this project the youth interns at the farm are designing and installing edible permaculture landscape elements and building a cob structure. Building with cob takes a lot of hands (and feet) to mix the material and build a structure, and it's so much fun! We will be planting, digging and mixing cob with our feet. This project will be a lot of fun and is family-friendly. So come out to Supa Fresh, get your hands dirty and do the cob dance with us!
