Every Wednesday at 6 PM, Raleigh City Farm hosts Wine+Weeds—a weekly hangout where you can lend a hand in the garden, learn about sustainable growing, and sip on a little something from Wine Authorities (alcohol-free options included).

This isn’t sponsored (we’d spill if it was). We just love a good glass with a little grassroots gardening. (Just so you know: Sponsored content in our newsletter is always marked with “*”).
