The ESGW is creating positive stories of our homes and our neighborhood because this community matters. We use our love of gardening and community to create connections between gardeners, neighbors, and visitors. This event is transforming our neighborhood by providing the spotlight for gardeners to "show out", by encouraging change, and inviting new ideas and growth. The ESGW also provides a way for those living outside the East Side to show up and help out in a fun community building event. Don't miss this chance to be a good neighbor.
