The Charleston Horticultural Society has announced a series of “Dig & Discover” community classes to be held at the Romney Urban Garden (RUG) in downtown Charleston.
RUG is a small urban garden located at the end of Romney Court in the Upper Neck of the peninsula. In 2014, with seed money provided by the Historic Charleston Foundation (HCF), the youth of New Israel Reformed Episcopal Church (NIREC) set out to rehabilitate a vacant lot owned by the church. Neighbors, church members, and HCF spent hours clearing the lot and initially added nine raised beds, constructed a mosaic, and installed a pizza oven.
Dig & Discover classes are scheduled during volunteer workdays. Participants are encouraged to come out and pitch in at the garden before or after each class.
Dig & Discover Winter/Spring 2023 Class Schedule :
All “Dig & Discover” classes are free of charge and open to the public. RUG is located at 222 Romney Court. Street parking is available on Romney Court and surrounding streets.
