Our Gleaning Coordinator, Allison, will appear THIS Monday, March 11th at 9 am on @kwmrradio. She'll be speaking on In the Coastal Garden, a show by and for growers, about gleaning, food recovery, and Match's plant of the month, to be revealed live on air. Listen live at 90.5 FM or at kwmr.org, and we'll also post the recording once it becomes available!
This week Community Gardens and Bounty Hunters collaborated to plan for a summer of community helping community. Allison and Raney met with the leadership circle at Arroyo Community Garden located on the Living Word Lutheran Church. This growing season, Arroyo Community Garden will designate two plots specifically for community donation and gleaning. We want to give a big shout-out to the leadership team: Elaine, Glenn, and Rebecca for giving us a tour of the community garden and sharing their ideas for producing donations in the future! On our tour, we talked about specific vegetables and fruits that would be best for donations, learned that the Arroyo Community Garden has many wonderful members, and met their energetic garden dog!
