 Gardening since 2011
|
I am a fairly new gardener (Started 2010) but have become a student of growing plants and veggies. I am also a Community Developer by trade and moved to an under-resourced community for the purpose of community organizing. I have started the Brookdale Community Garden as well as the development of the Calvary Youth Development Garden. The CYD Garden gives at risk youth an opportunity to learn what it means to run an agricultural business by growing their own food and selling it at the local farmers market.
