What does it mean to you to be able to grow your own food?
How can growing your own food impact and help the larger community?
Join us on August 10th from 11am - 1pm for a special “pot-luck” lunch in collaboration with local non-profit Grow Oak Ridge. Let’s celebrate the fruits of their 2024 Backyard and Community Garden project and discuss ways to build community health around organic vegetable gardening!
If you’re a local gardener - we invite you to bring a dish featuring something from your garden to share.
If not - please come as you are! Your insight and appetite are always welcome at the table!
