On Saturday, August 1, 2009, Long Beach Organic, Inc. in collaboration with private property owner and local business woman (SISco Business Services Inc.), Annette LaBarca, City of Long Beach’s Neighborhood Leadership Program team – Waves4Change; Wrigley Association and the Long Beach Redevelopment Agency invite you to break ground for Wrigley’s first community garden.

The highly anticipated Wrigley Village Community Garden will be located at 2044 Pacific Avenue in the heart of the Pacific Corridor. This grass roots celebration will complement the City of Long Beach’s own extensive redevelopment efforts to improve Pacific Avenue through the Wrigley Village Streetscape Project.

The Wrigley Village Community Garden celebration kicks off at 10:00 am and will feature a ribbon cutting ceremony at 11:30am. Many local dignitaries and city management will be present as keynote speakers. Festivities will include opportunity drawings, music, kid’s activities such as “stepping stone painting” and a ‘how to’ seed starting demonstration. Renee’s Garden Seeds and Botanical Interests will provide complimentary seeds for the kids.
