Project Summary
The project has three main components: growing, sharing, and teaching. The Edible Garden grows food on public land, sells it at a farmers market, and hosts interns, volunteers, tours, and community potlucks. Some produce is donated to local food security organizations for vulnerable groups. The teaching aspect includes gardening at childcare centers, schools, and workshops.
