GO DO THIS

Gardening with Native Plants Class at Starr Hill
August 31st

Native plants are better for your yard, the local critters and the environment. Bonus for most you don’t have to deal with watering or mowing a massive grassy yard.

Join Alex Little of Green Heron Garden Co. for an in-depth class on Gardening with Native Plants! 

 Alex installed all planters and flora at Starr Hill Richmond and has been taking care of our plant babies since 2020.

 On Wed. Aug. 31st, come learn all about planting and caring for native plants and take home a plant of your very own–all for $20!

RVA IPA Release at Hardywood (Ownby Lane)
September 2nd

Beer hopped by the people for the people.

All of your hard work harvesting paid off! Now come try this year’s batch of our community hopped RVA IPA.
Since 2012, we have given away over 6500 hop rhizomes to interested growers to plant throughout greater Richmond. Our growers collectively supply over 50 pounds of fresh hops for RVA IPA. Vibrantly floral with notes of citrus, RVA IPA is a showcase of the terroir of Richmond and a true representation of our community’s commitment to collaboration.

BEER NEWS

Not local but interesting. Can you imagine any vendor doing the same in the United States.

Vendor applauds staff for serving free beer at Big Ten game in Dublin – Washington Post

“We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this caused customers,” a Levy spokesman said in a statement, “and would like to thank our employees at Aviva Stadium for the spirit they showed in keeping everything going.”

Word quickly spread in the first half and before long lines began to grow at concession stands. It wasn’t just beer that was handed out, but everything available, including food.

The Omaha World-Herald reported at least one fan coming away with seven beers and many others opting for a more manageable four. French fries — or chips, as they are called on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean — proved a popular item, as did hot dogs.
