To forget how to dig
the earth and to tend
the soil is to forget ourselves.

Making fresh, healthy, local food accessible to ALL!

Food Garden Update

Since the video was made, our garden count is up to 48. Our efforts have been all volunteer to this point, with several donations paying for materials. The 2010-2011 season of Dinners in Paradise funded materials for 16 new food gardens at housing for formerly homeless folks and our individual residential gardens in low-income areas of Miami.
For real-time updates and garden photos, see our Facebook group.
 Food desert: 
 “...an area in 
the United States with limited access to affordable and nutritious food, 
particularly such an area composed of predominantly lower income neighborhoods and communities."
-United States Department of Agriculture
                                        


We get our hands dirty and dig in to make more fresh vegetables and fruits available to all- our favorite tools are hard work, education, and volunteerism, in the garden and at the farmers' market!
Volunteer some time & learn to make a garden, or Get a  Garden, Give a Garden!


You can donate a little or a lot to help- buy some seeds with a 
few dollars or sponsor an entire garden.
