Something hopeful is growing at Community Farm. This season, we’ve launched two new garden clubs—Bloomers for adults and Seedlings for children— inviting neighbors of all ages to dig in, learn sustainable gardening skills and grow fresh produce together. 🥕 🥦 🍅

This is made possible through partnership with Bloom Madison County. The clubs meet every Wednesday. They work in garden beds growing and harvesting produce like spinach, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, strawberries and more!

Madison County ranks among the top 15 counties in Indiana for food insecurity. By teaching people how to grow their own food and share the harvest, we’re addressing hunger at its roots—literally. You can see for yourself in the video. (The purple carrots were a big hit with the Seedlings group.😄)

If you have questions or want to learn more, don’t hesitate to talk to your primary care physician.
