On October 4th, Mission Meadows Community Garden is joining a growing regional movement called The Longest Table — a simple idea that's making a big difference across Eastern Washington and North Idaho: bring people together around a shared meal, and watch strangers become neighbors. Bring a potluck dish and have some fun!
We're pairing this gathering with our annual Harvest Fest, celebrating everything our garden has grown this season. Expect a long communal table set right in the garden, seasonal food, good conversation, and a chance to connect with the folks who make this neighborhood green space possible.
Whether you've volunteered here for years or have never set foot in the garden, you have a seat at our table.
