Like to shop? Want to learn about composting and container farming? Interested in community gardening? Here's an event for you. 

The Mount Washington Whole Foods store, at 1330 Smith Ave., will donate 5 percent of net sales today to the Baltimore City Department of Recreation and Parks' City Farms Program, which operate eight community gardens for about 500 families.

And if you can get out to the store, managers are also offering some events to coincide with the day: 

+Children’s Story Time, 10 a.m.: Learn gardening tips from Winnie the Pooh. Each child will receive a potted vegetable to take home and plant.

+Container Gardening Workshop, 12 p.m. and 6 p.m.: Learn how to create small gardens even without a yard. A lucky winner will take home the container garden from each demonstration.

+Kitchen Composting, 2 p.m. and 4 p.m.: Learn how to transform kitchen scraps into rich compost. Worms, vegetable scraps and containers will be provided.

And if you're interested in those community gardens run by Baltimore City Farms, they are located in Clifton Park, DeWees Park, Carroll Park, Druid Hill Park, Leakin Park, Patterson Park, Roosevelt Park and Cimiglia Park at Fort Holabird. More space is planned at Heath and Charles Streets in South Baltimore and at Rock Rose Park near TV Hill. Rent is $30 per year.
