Join us at Growing Gardens for a family-friendly evening of garden fun hosted by Growing Gardens, Slow Food Boulder County, and the Museum of Boulder. Get a guided tour of Growing Gardens, get your hands dirty in the gardens, play lawn games, and get dinner at the food truck. You’ll plant, learn, and explore how gardens can nourish our local food system, teach young minds, and bring our community together. *Weather backup date: In anticipation of whatever weather May in Colorado may bring, please also mark your calendar for May 18 as our bad weather backup. About Growing Gardens: Our Mission: To cultivate community through regenerative urban agriculture. Our Vision: People experiencing a direct and deep connection with food, the land and each other. Our Practice: We practice regenerative agriculture to ensure the long term viability of our land and water resources to feed future generations. About Slow Food Boulder County: Slow Food’s impact is local and global. In a fast-paced world dominated by convenience, much of the meaning behind our food has been lost. We often don’t know where it comes from, how it was grown, or who made it possible. But food is more than fuel — it’s a powerful force that connects us to the land, to culture, and to one another. Slow Food Boulder County exists to restore that connection. We are part of a global movement that believes food should be good for those who eat it, clean for the planet, and fair to those who grow it. Rooted in the values of sustainability, tradition, and community, we promote local, organic, and seasonal food that nourishes both body and soul. We believe in the importance of knowing where our food comes from. We celebrate traditional and regional cuisines, support local farmers and producers, and work to preserve the biodiversity and wisdom found in our food systems. By embracing a slower, more intentional approach to food, we’re helping to build a healthier, more vibrant future — one that honors people, place, and the pleasure of the table. Cost: $10 Museum of Boulder members: $10 Children under 5, EBT, and Tribal Members: Free
