~ Our Mission ~
Our mission is to cultivate hope and independence through gardening education, community collaboration and sustainable growing practices.
We accomplish this through:
* Hands-on demonstration in the community garden
*Educator-led classes and field days
*Small groups learning sessions
* Seasonal learning series and special events
Our food education emphasizes safe, sustainable and environmentally responsible practices that support both people and the land.
To expand our educational reach, we partner with "Slight Of Harvest Homestead", which supports our hands-on demonstrations both in person and online through live and recorded educational content
