Neighborhood Garden Initiative: The Podcast
At Neighborhood Garden Initiative our mission is to bring function, purpose, and beauty to the land we occupy, educate families on the importance of food sovereignty, and lend a helping hand to all in need. Our goals are to put a garden in every home, share our knowledge and bounties with one another, and continue to help put the food system back into the hands of the people. We hope this podcast can be a tool to share garden information and tips on how to integrate them into your daily life. Enjoy!
