The FoodShed Project ushers in the coming fall with this fun, free event

 

On Saturday, September 17th, Foodie, Fruity Wreath Making comes to the Scotts Valley Farmers’ Market. Find baskets full of foraged foliage, dried market flowers and dried fruit. Sit down at the mini wreath-making station and get started with statice, marigold, cypress and pine. At this FREE FoodShed Project event the market invites you to get creative, get silly, get curious, get hungry and get fed. Visit the art table, get your face painted and check in at the Santa Cruz Public Libraries station for the market hunt. Live music hangs in the air and the farmstands spill over with tomatoes, winter squash, apples, peppers, potatoes, pomegranates and the end of the stone fruit season. Our new location at the Joe and Linda Alberti Clubhouse/Boys and Girls Club is really coming to life!
