The Green Palette is a seasonal public art project and community engagement program organized by Waterloo Arts with a mission to revitalize the planter beds along Waterloo Road in Collinwood. They are hosting The Green Palette Webinar Series to engage community members on all aspects of gardening.

Participants of the program will acquire skills in horticulture and urban farming, contribute to dialogue around community-informed design of green public space, and transform 20+ planter beds along Waterloo Road into personalized growing plots. The objective of the project is to re-envision the planter beds as sites for community-led creativity to blossom and serve as a model for how we can collectively take action to make positive change in our neighborhoods. The program comprises a monthly webinar series (January to August) and a growing season (roughly May to September) wherein teams of community members led by team leads tend to planter beds with infrastructure support from Waterloo Arts and dedicated consultation from trained community garden mentors. The program is free of cost.

The Cleveland Seed Bank is excited to partner with The Green Palette to offer an Introduction to Seed Saving workshop on Thursday, April 29th from 6:00 to 7:30 pm.

Seed saving is a growing movement which encourages the growing of heirloom and open-pollinated plant varieties in order to save seeds and protect our planet's biodiversity. Join the Cleveland Seed Bank and learn the basic information and techniques you need to start saving your own seeds in this virtual class. No background knowledge is required!
