Garden  

 

MHC stewards an on-site garden, where community member come together to share knowledge and grow vegetables, fruits, herbs, and flowers - all in ways that are sustainable and frugal. Over the years, MHC's gardens have grown more than 24,000 pounds of organic produce. Our pantry garden showcases many gardening techniques and are open-harvest, so community members are welcome to walk around and harvest the produce to take home.

 

During the growing season, we host weekly drop-in garden work dates. Volunteers of all ages and abilities are welcome to join and learn gardening skills while growing produce for our food pantry. No need to bring anything but a good attitude--we supply the garden, the tools, the plants, and a plan.

​

Weekly Workday: Weekly drop-in workdays are each Thursday from 4 to 6 pm at the Hub. During the cooler months, we'll begin indoors as we sow seeds and tend starts. No garden experience expected, but your expertise is welcome! Come when you can, and leave when you need to. Email Sidd at garden@mhcfoodpantry.org to learn more about gardening with the Hub.

 

Our garden program also distributes free compost, plant starts, and seeds and hosts workshops throughout the year. Check out our social media and event calendar to stay up-to-date on these opportunities!
