2020 seemed like an impossible year to face at times. COVID-19 took loved ones, livelihoods, and the sense of stability away from countless individuals.

If you’re a gardener, you can relate to the feeling of the season dwindling down. There’s grief at the end of a season all around us, as we put away our tools, and watch our plants return to the ground.

Harvest against Hunger, our annual fall fundraiser, has been forced to shift like many events this year. Our staff and taskforce members have committed to keeping the theme true to previous years, prioritizing The GardenWorks Project’s mission to promote the local food system as a viable means towards sustainability and greater food security.

The “eat local” movement continues to gain momentum, especially since COVID-19. At The GardenWorks Project, we believe that everyone deserves fresh produce.

For its third year, The GardenWorks Project is taking Harvest Against Hunger virtual.

This week is National Farmers Market Week!

The last few months in America have been an unprecedented time of considering health. Social distancing measures have been put in place to protect the physical health of citizens, but have created a crisis of mental health instead.

According to Feeding America, the country’s largest hunger relief organization, 20% of the 40 million people served by its 200 food banks and their networks are veterans.

The GardenWorks Project is proud to support local hunger relief efforts through our Community Gardening Program.

Over the last month, we have been inundated with messages from individuals looking to build gardens.
