About the Program:
Our goal is to expand the capacity of our garden so that we can increase our yields and share excess produce with the community. Currently we have three full grown apple trees, a pollinator garden and two small raised vegetable beds. This grant will enable us to add to our current gardening space over time and we plan to use matching funds to maintain upkeep of the garden. As we expand our gardens we will also need to create a closer water source to save time and make it easier for the kids to garden during the week.
This program is supported by UT/TSU Knox County Extension.
