A Simple Change Can Secure Our Future

What if your neighborhood could grow its own food? Imagine stepping outside and picking fresh fruit, herbs, and vegetables, right from the landscape around you. As food prices rise and supply chains become more unpredictable, we need solutions that put food security back into the hands of local communities.

By using edible landscaping and community orchards, we can create spaces that are beautiful, low-maintenance, and abundant with fresh food. This event will show you how easy it can be to turn lawns, parks, and underutilized spaces into thriving food sources, no farming experience required.

Join us to learn how your own backyard, school, church, or city park can be part of the solution.
