At several of our demonstration gardens and garden beds we grow food and vegetable seedlings to donate to local foodbanks. We teach people about growing their own food and help others with plant problems, so they learn ways to be successful in their gardens and yards. We also enjoy researching and pursuing special interests in gardening.
