Giving Garden

Grow produce for local food pantries to address food insecurity.

Offer gardening education opportunities to local gardeners, students, volunteers, HCMGA members, food recipients and seniors (discussion and hands-on).

Plan and operate a large (1/4 acre) public demonstration vegetable, fruit and herb garden exhibiting best practices in crop rotation, soil management, irrigation, variety selection, weed management, cover crops, companion crops, pollinators, biodiversity, yields, harvesting, hardscape management, composting, organic fertilizing, insect control, planting, physical supports, and maintenance.

Increase awareness of HCMGA and good gardening through programs and partners. Provide garden space and resources for other HCMGA committees.
