Hello,
My name is Yvette and I am a Peer Mentor in the garden. I come from a long line of farmers; I am the first generation in my family not to grow up on a farm. I love working at the garden because I get to learn about gardening and to help people. My job is a win-win situation.
The Growing Home Community Garden is a great place to learn the skill of gardening, the nutritional qualities of various vegetables and fruits, and the medicinal and/or culinary qualities of herbs.
Since I started woking at the garden, I have learned about vegetables I had never heard of before and how to prepare them. Do you know what a Kohlrabi is? I never heard of it until I started working at the garden. At the garden you can make new friends, and escape from the "city scene" for a little while.
Spring time is here and we are busy enriching the soil and planting summer crops. Drop by and say hello or sign up to be a volunteer.
