Our Purpose

to teach organic gardening to busy families who normally would not garden, utilizing a network of peers and friends within a small, local neighborhood group, to create community, and to facilitate discussion between the members of those groups so each family learns at their own pace/capability. The goal is to show even the busiest families that they can grow some of their own food, which reduces that family's environmental impact while empowering them to nourish themselves.

Summary of Projects

In 2009 the group received a grant to create community and to facilitate discussion between the members to each participant learns at their own pace/capability. Funds were used to support workshop leaders, provide childcare during events and host an online community.
