Our purpose is to grow food for people and pollinators. We bring the community together to build gardens on unproductive, uninhabitable lawns, public spaces and verges. We organize volunteers to grow fresh vegetables and distribute them to our aged and economically disavdvantaged residents and plant verges and other public spaces with native pollinator plants that support our at-risk native bees, butterflies and moths. We create opportunites for people to particpate in cooking classes using local produce, as well as classes on composting, managing invasive plants, and how to choose and grow native plants that support a healthy ecosystem. This year we are getting involved in the state-wide rolll out of the Art Pharmacy and planning our first art class in the main garden, free for participants. We endeavor to work in partnership with other town committees, schools, farmers, nurseries and non-profits, working together to plant trees, grow seedlings for veggie gardens, source native plants, all with local volunteer help from people of all ages, economic and backgrounds.
