Ever dream of traveling to space? We're excited to partner with Club for the Future, a nonprofit whose mission is to inspire youth to pursue careers in STEM and help visualize the future of life in space to benefit Earth. Kids are invited to pick up a blank postcard from the Front Desk and draw their image of why Earth needs space on the front. Once completed, the child can give their postcard to the Front Desk. We'll add the stamp and send it to Club for the Future and they'll send it to space and back on a Blue Origin New Shepard rocket. The best part? The postcard is then mailed back to the child for an out-of-this-world keepsake.

Located near the Mahlon Adams Pavilion at Cumberland and Lilac avenues, the Freedom Park Demonstration Garden makes good use of undulating berms, providing distinctly different planting strategies with sun or shade exposures. You’ll also find a bee hotel designed and built by a team of scouts for the garden. The Independence Park Demonstration Garden is a sunny-side garden, located at the Cooperative Extension office off 7th Street. Vegetables and herbs grown there are donated to the Charlotte Urban Ministry's Soup Kitchen. Both gardens are designed, planted and maintained by Master Gardener volunteers of Mecklenburg County who can often be seen working in the gardens, teaching workshops at various events, and answering questions online and in person. Follow them on Facebook and Instagram. You can also sign-up for their monthly gardening newsletter.
