Backyard Growers

In the face of covid-19 we found innovative new ways to empower people with resources and agency to grow their own food. We launched an online shop to safely and urgently distribute thousands of growing resources for the community. We piloted a successful grow bag initiative, a new sustainable way to grow food regardless of access to space. We pivoted all our trainings to virtual formats and launched cooking workshops for kids enrolled in remote learning. We connected more seniors, families, and kids to vegetable gardens and healthy food in their own communities and backyards, doubling our Backyard garden program. We established new partnerships and school garden consulting clients.
