We host regular gardening workshops throughout the season as well as weekly volunteer days &amp; mutual aid events.<br> + <br> + Our Children's Garden &amp; composting bins are open to the public, and our garden plots serve local individuals &amp; families seeking growing space and a way to connect with their community.<br> + <br> + In November 2020 we incorporated as a 501c3 organization. In 2021 we received over $10,000 in crowdfunding as well as $1000 from the Pollinator Project. With these funds we were able to install a water source, host regular events including a weekly farmers market, and provide resources to two start up gardens. In 2022 we increased the number of plots for rent under the stewardship of our Farm Manager, Rachel Farley.<br> + <br> + In 2023 we revamped our Children's Garden for greater interactivity, expanding the original community garden area, and increasing diversity in the Free Food Forest using permaculture principles.<br> + <br> + We are also working toward expanding our reach to other areas of the city by partnering with other urban gardens to support their initiatives, and by obtaining a building to be used in partnership with other mutual aid organizations as an activity hub and additional urban land to be used for growing food. ]]</span> </td> </tr> </table> </div>
