Clarkston International Throws a Harvest Festival
The Clarkston International Garden, a project of GCDD's Real Communities and the Global Growers Network, hosted a Friends of 40 Oaks Harvest Festival on October 20, 2013 with support from 15 different community partners to recognize the Clarkston growers and celebrate the end of the fall growing season. Almost 175 attendees joined in the festivities, including garden tours, food and refreshments, zoo animals, photo shoots, youth contests and games, music, art and more.
"The event was very successful," said Basmat Ahmed, the Real Communities Clarkston International Garden community builder. "We were able to introduce our garden as a welcoming space, invite other growers from Clarkston to exchange experiences and tips and engage with our neighbors."
