Has it been a while since you’ve been to Downtown Greens? Have you only been in the upper or lower garden and have been curious about the other? Are you interested in knowing more about what we actually do in the garden? Hint: it’s not just weeding! We’ve had some great groups join us for this series of informative tours of the greenspace and programs at Downtown Greens. We provide the refreshments, you just show up! Free!
