These sessions will center the experiences of those currently producing or hoping to produce food for people experiencing food insecurity and help us understand current efforts, barriers, and opportunities to strengthen food access.
A session will be hosted during our Spring into Garden Activation event. If you're interested in starting a garden at home or looking to connect with other home gardeners and community members, this is the place for you!
