Establishing a Community Garden

Community Edible Garden Project

Rimonim Leisure Center presents a series of enrichment workshops around the garden for families—a project that is both a volunteer initiative for the community and full of value and content for children (and parents too :).

Three experiential sessions led by Adi Rosenthal, in cooperation with and funded by the Municipal Volunteer Department of Hadera Municipality.

We’ll meet, learn, plant, and root—and the result will be a community edible garden that you’ll be able to visit, tend, and eat from later :)

Sundays, 16:30–18:30

First session — 8.11: Plants

The plant life cycle—from seed to mature plant—and the importance of seasonality. We’ll experiment with pollinating flowers, germinating seeds, and preparing cuttings. We’ll finish with initial planting.
At the end: each family will take home seedlings and cuttings to care for until the next session.

Session 2 — 15.11: Soil

We’ll learn the difference between rock and soil, learn about the minerals essential to plants, and discover the role of compost in enriching the soil.
Practical activity: preparing small planters for plants and continuing to plant in the large garden beds.

Session 3 — 29.11: Planting

We’ll return the planters and move the seedlings together into the garden beds. We’ll learn how to position plants according to the amount of light in the garden.

A truly wow workshop! Please note: select as many tickets as the number of participants who will attend.
