Open House: Maple Boil, Seed Swap, and the 2025 Annual Report
The maple sap has been flowing - drop by the Radix Center from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. on Saturday, March 28th for our annual maple boil down. We'll be sampling delicious, homemade maple syrup on pancakes made with our chickens’ eggs. Gluten free and vegan options will be available.
We’ll also have seeds to share for those getting started in their gardens; bring some of your own to swap with your neighbors and share your successes! Visitors will also get an update on what Radix has been up to through the release of our 2025 Annual Report.
Maple Tapping Demo at 11 a.m.
Farm Tour at 1 p.m.
South End Earth Day (SEED)
Each Spring, volunteers come together to care for the community gardens in the South End and prepare them for the growing season. Over the last 15 years it’s developed into so much more, with free food and drinks, local entertainment, and an array of community resources. We’d love for you to join us.
Volunteers will meet at Radix at 10 a.m., form groups for each garden site, and team up with a Crew leader. We’ll provide all the tools and supplies needed to freshen up garden beds and remove debris that has accumulated over the winter.
At 1 p.m. the Block Party starts, with food and refreshments, music and dancing going until 4 p.m. Countless community-based organizations will be there, eager to share what they have to offer including free health screenings, clean energy job resources, soil testing, and more.
If you are interested in volunteering, setting up a table, having an activity, or sponsoring this event please DM us or reach out to haley@radixcenter.org for more information. We hope to see you there!
