Community gardens offer one solution to hunger, while also promoting healthy eating.

Interested gardeners may set up their own plot at the FoodBank, or help with the demonstration garden, a ½ acre community garden. A Master Gardener is available to teach about soil, nutrients, when to plant, what to plant, weeding, fertilizing, watering and harvesting. Seeds and tools are available. Harvest from the demonstration garden helps to feed the needy.
