Grassroots in the Garden: Growing Community
Introducing our New Project!
We’ve been hard at work planning a brand new mentorship and education program for our community! This spring, look forward to class offerings related to all things growing, harvesting, cooking, canning, nature and mental health, and more!
Our goal is to equip community members with useful skills and foster a community gardening effort. Classes will be offered at the sites of our various project installations in the Greater Green Bay area. The first installment of the program will take place at the Seymour Park Food Forest!
