Guy and Anna have been hard at work prepping the garden for the 2023 growing season. While we are a bit behind, we are still on time to have another great season of growing food for local food shelves. However, we need your help! We would love any extra helping hands this Friday morning. We will be gathering to spread compost, lay down plastic mulch, put the deer fence up, and of course put some plants in the ground!

Please bring gloves and plenty water, and wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. We will provide tools. 

RSVP: Email anna@shlt.org to let me know you are coming

More about the Gleaning Garden: 

In partnership with Pigasus Meats, the Healthy Roots Collaborative, and local volunteers, we developed and coordinate the South Hero Community Gleaning Garden, growing vegetables and herbs for local meal programs and charitable food sites. We have a particular focus on culturally relevant food crops for migrant farmworkers in our region, distributed through the Healthy Roots Collaborative in partnership with the Open Door Clinic and Bridges to Health. Finally, we provide food to local meal programs and charitable food sites including Food for Thoughts, the Champlain Islands Food Shelf, Islands in the Sun, and St. Amadeus Church.
