It all begins with an idea…A desire to grow a garden of edible plants for yourself, your family, and your community. Gardening encourages healthy eating by providing whole foods that you grew yourself. It helps with physical and mental health and well-being. It is also great for the planet…growing your own food cuts down on the carbon footprint. Pollinators benefit from the flowers and in turn, help the fruiting plants grow. Gardening creates connection…Whether you are swapping seeds or sharing plants with someone or even growing a row of food for the local food pantry…

Gardening brings people together.
