At second church gardeners, we believe the solution to food insecurity and away from industrial chemicals is to start doing what we can at home'. Our mission is simple: grow better food, support one another with expert technical help, and give back. Every season, we share our bounty with neighbors and local food pantries to ensure everyone has access to clean, nutritious produce. Whether you’re a seasoned green thumb or a total beginner, there’s a place for you in our growing family. As we learn more of how our foods are produced and how the foods are sprayed with herbicide and the various issues with food justice, we feel that it was time to do something to help ourselves. Many of us have a backyard or a friend, so we decided to form Second church gardeners so we can raise food in our back yard to offset what we get from the grocery stores so we can improve our food health. As part of our mission, Everyone is trained to work his or her own garden and they are supported with the necessary technical help. This method is very helpful to many in the group because they don’t have to go and join a community group that is located some distance away, instead their garden is just outside their window, new members joined the group every year.
