Thanks to Schlafly Brewing for providing the beverages. And, thanks to Matt Even and James Anderson from Gateway Greening for making this happen at Wayside.
Dan Linck, Wayside Garden Leader,
welcomed the crowd
of over 60 interested participants and introduced our guest speakers from River Des Peres Watershed Coaliton: Eric and Theo
We learned lot about water conservation, using rain barrels at home and in a community garden setting, permaculture and more.
Everyone enjoyed the setting, the beer, the cold drinks and snacks, the company of like-minded individuals, the fans providing some relief from the oppressive heat.
It was well after dark when the crowd dispersed.
Oh, and 4 lucky gardeners won rain barrels. Congratulations!
Just look at the crowd:
