Goodness Grows Garden
A patch of lawn on the side of the Carteret County Health Department in Morehead City was transformed into a raised bed vegetable garden a few years back. The four beds, as well as an herb garden and native plant garden, are tended by Carteret County Master Gardener Volunteers. The vegetables and herbs harvested are donated weekly to The Storehouse food pantry in Morehead City.
Vegetables and herbs are harvested weekly. Seasonal vegetables are planted in the spring and early fall to keep the supply coming.
The bounty is taken to The Storehouse food pantry in Morehead City to add fresh vegetables and herbs to the to the food bank's offerings.
