Vertical Oyster Garden Building Day

Gary's Brewery & Biergarten is teaming up with PPBEP and OysterCorps to help Pensacola Bay oysters! Join us for a laid-back evening of building vertical oyster gardens (VOGs). All materials will be provided, no experience necessary!

Volunteer with us to help construct vertical oyster gardens (VOGs) out of oyster shell recycled from Pensacola Beach restaurants! VOGs are suspended structures built out of recycled oyster shell that can hang from docks to provide a surface for oysters to grow on. Once oysters start growing on a VOG, they can enhance water filtration, create habitat for other marine life, and reproduce to support our oyster populations across the bay!

All ages are welcome to participate but a guardian must be present for youth.

Event is free, but registration is required as supplied are limited.
