This program creates community gardens and helps individuals enjoy better nutrition by growing their own vegetables, herbs, and flowers. This program has made great strides in bringing the community together to address the needs of our community.
The Growing Healthy Garden Program has also helped create the North Adams Public School Service-Learning garden program, “Garden Mosaics.” Students are able to grow food and donate their harvest to the free community meals at the Berkshire Food Project and to Holy Family Terrace, senior living apartments, all while engaging in school curriculum topics independently from the classroom.
