The Somerville Community Growing Center has announced their in-person free public events for August:

MOTS: Modular on the Spot
Sunday, August 1, 4:00 – 7:30 p.m.
Modular on the Spot is a free and inclusive music community focused on offering a home for modular synth enthusiasts to share their performances with the public. Hosted by Richard Tarantino. This event is free and open to all.

The 11th Annual Teddy Bear’s Picnic
Monday, August 2, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. (Rescheduled from original date in July due to rain)
Bring a picnic dinner, your little ones, and their beloved bears (or other stuffed creatures) and join us for the annual Teddy Bear Picnic. Families and friends of all ages are invited to attend. If kids want to “come in disguise” (according to the song and wear a costume), we’re sure the bears will appreciate it. This event is free and brought to the community by parent volunteers. Donations to the Growing Center are very much appreciated.

Yoga in the Garden
Saturday, August 7, 10-:00 – 11:00 a.m.
Grab your yoga mat and head on over to the Growing Center on monthly Saturday mornings for a free outdoor yoga session! Enjoy the natural beauty of the garden while reviving your body and soul. Sessions are generously offered by Growing Center friend and favorite Jenn Pici Falk. Yoga in the Garden is free and open to everyone.

Outdoor Movie Series: Wild Hope and Marion Stoddard: The Work of 1,000
Thursday, August 12, 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. (Opens at 6:30 p.m. for picnicking)
Bring a picnic dinner, and join others in watching two inspirational short films that will excite and energize, provoke conversation, stimulate actions, and connect us to the ways that we can restore nature as we fight climate change for our children’s future. This event is co-hosted by the Mothers Out Front – Massachusetts Healthy Soil, Livable Future Action Group and the Somerville Community Growing Center.

Walk, bike, or carpool if possible, as parking is limited.
