Featuring Pop Up Artisan and Food Market, Live Music, Activities and More!

Growing Love Community Garden, a truly magical space in the Manorhaven Preserve (Port Washington) that was founded by Ripple Creative co-founder, Erika Stehl, with the intent to connect our diverse community to healthy food, nature, and each other.  Growing Love is celebrating it's 5th Anniversary and we’re going to celebrate with a party -- or, hippie fest 2022! ;) 

We have two special events on Saturday, May 14:   A family event from 2pm - 4pm that will include an intimate pop up artisan & food market, live music, children’s crafts and family activities. We also have an evening ticketed event from 6pm - 8pm featuring roots-rock musician, Will Evans, food trucks, and select artisan vendors.
