oUR COMMUNITY VISION
I’m a paragraph. Double click me or click Edit Text, it's easy.
This little plot of land is our passion. It is our baby. And we are sharing it with you because we believe that growing your own food is good for the planet, our community, and our families and friends.
What you put into your plot affects the plot next to yours, the water, and the health of all who interact with our soil. So we care. We care a lot.
By joining this community garden you are connecting with the the planet and committing to leaving it better than you found it.
We want to help you grow delicious food that nourishes both your body and the planet. We want it to be easy and enjoyable.
Elizabeth will host weekly mini clinics in person and online that address issues we see in the health of the gardens. We will be gardening alongside you and experiences many of the same issues.
Topics we will cover as they become relevant: Preparing the soil, what to plant and when, watering, weeding, pruning, fertilizing, pests, succession planting, harvesting, fall clean up.
We look forward to working with you to achieve our mission of healthy, happy, restorative.
