The secret to any relationship is communication, and our relationship with our community is no different. Starting on June 5, Growing Places Indy will be presenting the Tuesday Evening Public Conversation Series, a special 8-week summer program to get Indy talking about everything from eating local to media literacy.
From 4-6 every week, Growing Places Indy will open up the Slow Food Garden farm stand at the Chase Near Eastside Legacy Center, to give everyone an opportunity to bri
ng home locally grown produce. Then at 5 the doors of the large classroom will open for the public conversations. You’ll find them at 727 N. Oriental St., 46202.
