East McKinney Learning Garden

Finally! The Sprouts Teaching Pavilion sign is up! Special thanks to Jake Parr and the McKinney High welding class and Johnny Neufeld at Crosslink Powder - couldn’t have turned out better. Next step is to accent the vegetables and raise it all the way up. Finally thanks to for being such a great partner!

Good news and bad news at EMLG. The Garden is almost fully planted and is looking great! Harvested 10 gallons of herbs for this week.

And the Bad News. We were robbed. Storage bin was broken into and $3000 of equipment (quickie saw, blower, trimmer, batteries) was taken. Very sad.

Stay tuned for some upcoming classes and Garden events including Garden tour tomorrow at 10:30. Hope to see you there.

This week’s featured event is learning to make candied jalapeños with Chef Heather from hevnly eats. Join us on Saturday November 15th for a tasty way to savor those peppers that grow so well here!

Join us on Saturday November 8th as we learn about soil health and regenerative agriculture from Meg Neubauer.

We enjoyed a beautiful fall morning in the garden as we learned how to preserve herbs and make cowboy butter with Chef Heather from Hevnly Eats Catering.
Save the Date!!! She will be back on November 15th at 10:30 am to teach us to make candied jalapeños! 🌶️

A beautiful morning at The EMLG! A big thanks to Cameron Searls from Profound Farms and McKinney Roots for a great class today on Pest Control in the garden! Keep an eye out for upcoming classes.

A midweek visit and delivery to one of our favorite community partners, HUGS Cafe. The produce went straight from the Garden to the kitchen in preparation for lunch. It doesn’t get any fresher than this! Have you had your hugs today?!
