Helen Nadel, Executive Director of Summit Community Gardens and Eats, discussed the organization's mission to build community through food and previewed the summer growing season. She says the community garden's plots are fully booked, but they encourage sign-ups on their waitlist.
Gardeners are advised to weed and amend soil now, but not to plant seeds until early-May for cold crops and mid-June for hot crops. She also talked about summer camp opportunities. Camps start June 8, with 40 children on scholarship. Dinners in the garden are scheduled for June 25, July 9, July 24, August 6, and August 20.
Nadel also highlighted the food "farmacy" program, which provides fruit and vegetables year-round, and the La Milpa program honors indigenous growing practices. Volunteer opportunities are available.
