Inspiration
There is growing food insecurity present in the United States. There are food deserts present throughout the United States, in these areas there is a lack of access to affordable healthy foods. In order to combat this pressing problem we came up with Garden Pals.
What it does
We are Garden Pals, promoting sustainable agriculture and striving to improve community gardens. Join people in surrounding communities to tackle food insecurities and potentially create your own garden of friends. We aim to increase food access in local neighborhoods and encourage people to contribute to food access in areas surrounding them. In the meantime, Garden Pals is focused on the greater Boston area and hopes to expand nationally. Lend a helping hand to your Garden Pals and learn how to grow fresh produce!
