Community Kitchens and Gardens
In partnership with Interior Community Services, community gardens are fenced, shared land that is divided into garden plots for anyone who wishes to grow their own healthy produce. Applications are now being accepted for spring and summer. You can also join a community kitchen where you can cook, learn about low-cost meal options, and preserve food. Check for availability.
