Join us for a morning of seasonal sharing and learning! Bring plants, seeds, a favorite fall recipe, or a treasured food memory to exchange with friends and neighbors. Want to plant fall veggies but don’t know where to start? Want to share crops, cooking, or garden tips? Bring what you can or just bring yourself!
Community Garden Manager Catherine Shelton will lead the exchange! Join us for a demonstration on growing fall crops in and out of containers. Shelton will also demonstrate how to make one of her favorite fall dishes prepared with Coleman Center produce!

The Coleman Center for the Arts’ Community Garden is an evolution of the 2009 visiting artist project One Mile Garden. The goal of that project was to connect community, food, and farming. Over the years the conversation has grown to include environmental justice, small-scale food production, food access, and sustainable self-care for individuals and communities. Shelton and Coleman Center staff ask area residents to help us continue the exchange. Let’s create a hub for community connection and food knowledge. Please bring your experience, energy, and questions to our table!
This workshop is offered in partnership with the Alabama Cooperative Extension System/Sumter County. The Garden Exchange Workshop is part of the Coleman Center’s Community Arts Workshops series focusing on creative learning experiences designed for multiple generations.
