Tool-IconGarden Sharing
There’s nothing better than enjoying fresh fruits and vegetables from your own garden!

The purpose of this project is to facilitate the development of community-based fruit and vegetable gardens at local organizations with extra land, which could be gardened, such as churches, and connecting them with eager volunteer gardeners who have no/limited land available. 

We will provide basic supplies and training on organic gardening methods as well as lend tools. The yield will be divided among the volunteers and the local food banks. 

If individual residents have extra space in their yards, they can also contact us to help facilitate a “match” with one or more volunteers who live nearby and would like to grow their own food.

Post-harvest preserving and other related gardening workshops are planned throughout the season.
