Due to uncooperative weather, our outdoor event "Pots in the Pits" was rained out last Thursday evening... but you're in luck! Click the link below to grab your ticket to plant some succulents and eat some pizza in Christie Pits. IN PERSON!
The new date is this Thursday evening, and so far, the weather is looking good 🤞
Even better... now that we are in Stage 3, we will be able to shift to a covered or indoor venue if need be.
We have missed seeing you in person for over a year and a half! We can't wait until Thursday night! See you there! DM us with any questions!
