Alameda Backyard Growers is meeting tonight to share details on how local residents can start work on their spring vegetable garden.

The event will take place from 6 to 7 p.m. Thursday, February 10, at High Street Station, 1303 High Street, on the corner of Encinal Avenue.

The presenters include Nancy Sylvestri-Elzig, a “master gardener” and Alameda Backyard Growers member, who has generously offered to donate seeds from her employer, Renee’s Garden, to those who pledge to “grow a row” for the Alameda Food Bank.

For those who cannot attend tonight’s gathering but would like to participate, send e-mail to amedabackyardgrowers@gmail.com.

ABG meetings are held monthly on the second Thursday of the month and are open to the entire community.
