Neglected. Overrun with vines and weeds. We've spent the past 3 years clearing it and planting additional fruit trees and berry plants.
We highlight foods grown in the garden and orchard through samples - there have even been some transformative moments for some in discovering new foods or rediscovering new methods of preparation.
We enjoy sharing the fruits of our labor! Donations and nutrition education are ways we try to combat hunger and food insecurity. Hundreds of pounds of fresh fruits have been donated to soup kitchens and community organizations!
Students lead and oversee the community orchard. Want to help? Contact loveaseaturtle@suddenlink.net
