FREE Pumpkin Party
It’s the Annual FREE Pumpkin Party that everyone has come to know and love. Pumpkins are donated by Pine Tree Apple Orchard and brought to the Story Garden for neighbors to come and pick their own! While families choose their favorite pumpkin, you can also enjoy a bonfire, kid friendly movie, snacks, hot apple cider and games! It’s a beautiful night to come out and enjoy the best fall has to offer right in our own backyard!
Volunteer Hour
This weekly event allows neighbors to come and ask garden questions, get a tour, or help work on projects. We will be out in the garden every Wednesday morning from the beginning of June through the end of Oct. If you are available and able, come hang with us! Projects vary by the week, but there is always something fun to do!
Harvest Night
Every Monday from 5-7pm there are folks in the garden to harvest. While the garden is open at all times for neighbors to pick what they need and want, sometimes it’s nice to do it together. It is also the perfect time to get a tour of the garden and discover where everything is. Bring a bag or basket to take your treasures home. Harvest Night happens every Monday from June through the end of October.

Honey and Hive
Join us for a day of community and connection. Honey and Hive is designed to bring a local market to the garden in the morning with workshops and classes in the afternoon. From 8am - 11am there will be a bonfire, coffee, tea, and vendors selling food and products. A list of vendors will be added throughout Sept.
Starting at 12noon a variety of classes and art projects will be hosted in the garden. Our focus on classes will be on Land Care, Environmental projections, and medicine making. As classes are confirmed the schedule will be posted here.
If you are interested in being a vendor or teaching a class, please reach out to Danielle.tietjen@gmail.com.

Mutual Aid Swap
Our monthly Mutual Aid Event is designed to build connections between neighbors, create economies outside of money but getting and giving what we need to one another. Residents bring items they are still in good shape but are not being used in their homes anymore. Anyone can come through and pick up whatever items they need or want. All items left at the end of the event are donated to the Free Store Downtown, ensuring we keep things free. All Items are accepted.

Mutual Aid Swap: Arts and Crafts
Bring any and all your art and craft supplies that you aren’t using anymore. Lots of folks have that pile of projects that we were gonna do at one point, and now it’s five years later. A reminder that you don’t need to bring items to take items. We will also have a bonfire going while we hang in the garden.
Fire and Honey
Time to sit around the fire in the garden and enjoy stories. We will also be providing honey for tea or cocktails and sharing adventures in Bee Keeping. You can even come and meet the bees!

Mutual Aid: Clothing Swap
Our next Mutual Aid Swap is Clothes! Please make sure items are clean. You don’t need to bring an item to take an item. Our goal is to ensure neighbors have access to resources they need. More details to come.
Mutual Aid Exchange: Household Items
Northside Neighbors are working to build Mutual Aid support pathways. One of those ways is to do item giveaways/exchanges. This month is Household Items including: Office supplies, sheets, blankets, decor, small furniture. You don’t need to bring something to take something. This is a great way to move items out of their home that aren’t serving you anymore, and allow them to serve someone who needs it.
