The Fountain Hills Community Garden organizers will present a free demo class, “How to build a raised bed garden” alongside its volunteer meeting on Saturday, Oct. 29, from 1 to 3 p.m. It’s a big day for the garden, as this will also serve as a groundbreaking event where visitors can start claiming their own plots.

This event will be hosted out of the Community Center. The class will focus on building a raised bed garden using green, safe, earth-friendly material with Earth Friendly Block.

The class will be presented by local owners and garden supporters, Dan and Sue Ellen Chouinard. More information on the duo can be found at efbm.com.

Everyone is invited to come support the garden and get the latest news and updates on progress, as well as details on how to get involved.

As part of the festivities, participants will be invited to don hard hats and grab a shovel to take part in an official groundbreaking ceremony.
