Hands On Harvests and the Collective Power of Gardeners
Hands On Harvests was started during the pandemic to encourage vegetable growers to donate surplus harvest to food pantries. Now it’s a 501c3 that manages community gardens, runs a FarmBot ag tech Program with local schools and still supports gardeners with free seeds, seedlings and mentorship. Pick up tips for growing vegetables and learn more about the local food system. As horticulturist Brie Arthur says, “We [gardeners] have knowledge that can improve our communities exponentially.”
FCGC webmaster and a former program chair, Stacey is the co-founder of Hands On Harvests, a Falls Church-based nonprofit whose mission is to boost access to fresh food and reduce food waste. She also works as the urban agriculture specialist for the Northern Virginia Soil and Water Conservation District.
Location: American Legion Post 130, 400 N Oak St, Falls Church VA 22046 and on Zoom. Link is in The Seedling.
Please Note: The meeting will be recorded and posted on YouTube for garden club members only.
