FAMILIES ENROLLED IN THE PROGRAM ARE PROVIDED RAISED-BED GARDENS AT HOME, ALONG WITH THE SUPPLIES NEEDED TO GROW FRESH VEGETABLES; SUCH AS SOIL, COMPOST, IRRIGATION SYSTEMS, AND SEEDLINGS. FAMILIES ATTEND A FULL YEAR OF MONTHLY WORKSHOPS WHERE THEY LEARN ABOUT BEST PRACTICES IN ORGANIC URBAN AGRICULTURE. WE ALSO SHARE IDEAS FOR HEALTHY, AFFORDABLE AND DELICIOUS MEALS. IN ADDITION TO BUILDING SKILLS,WORKSHOPS ARE AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD A STRONGER SENSE OF COMMUNITY WITH OTHERFAMILIES.
