Month: June 2024

A Garden Walk @ Mari Sunami Community Garden on Thursday June 27th @ 6pm.

I have been collaborating with Community Development for All People on the South Side for the past several years to increase urban agricultural production by bringing the former South Side Settlement House garden, now named Mari Sunami Community Garden back in to production.  It is an exciting project for me due to the location and the history.  A wonderful, large space with full sun and amazing possibilities.

You are invited to attend a garden walk on Thursday June 27th @ 6pm at Mari Sunami.  We will talk tomato pruning, integrated pest management, and summer veggies. Plus any of your questions.  Hopefully this heat goes away by then! The event is free and open to the public so bring your friends and your questions!

The above picture shows the garden looking north getting ready for spring planting.  Plans include soil amendments and a water line in 2024.

Mari Sunami Community Garden can be a little tricky to find.  The above picture shows its location between Innis and Woodrow on the South Side.  CLICK HERE for the Google map link as well.  The address is 248 Stanaford Pl. Columbus, OH 43207
