“Gardening is something anyone can do by themselves, but something miraculous happens when people come together to feed themselves and their neighbors,” says Karen Flotte, Executive Director. “Every small act, done in solidarity, makes a huge difference. Growing food together awakens our souls to new possibilities of being the change we want to see in our communities.”
