ONE SEED AT A TIME

​WHAT WE DO

Gardening has many health benefits for people of all ages. A busy day in the garden can be a good form of exercise. Growing and eating your own fruits and vegetables can have a positive impact on your diet. People tend to breathe deeper when outside. This helps to clear out the lungs, improves digestion, improves immune response and increases oxygen levels in the blood. Most importantly, gardening has been shown to lighten mood and lower levels of stress and anxiety. It's very gratifying to plant, tend, harvest and share your own food. Routines provide structure to our day and are linked to improved mental health. Gardening routines, like watering and weeding, can create a soothing rhythm to ease stress.

Our goal is to provide family friendly community events at little to no cost for participants, that promote healthy communities by starting conversations about food and growing.  We work with partners to bring more public and school garden spaces to those communities, as well as educate on growing and maintaining those garden spaces. 

The world should be a food forest for everyone to enjoy!
