Celebrate the 50th Earth Day, and Earth Day Every Day, with us!
We can help ourselves, our community, and our Earth by planting! To address the growing concerns of food insecurity, to increase sustainable food supplies, and to reduce food waste, we want to provide families with the tools they need to grow some of their own nutritious food. The goal of this site is to provide instructions for growing food in containers, and simple recipes for using it.

You will find additional links on following pages to learn about plants and growing, including collected content from our Community Partners!
Many thanks to our Community Partners:
