Meet us in the garden, at events, and on social media.
“The gardens do more than provide food for families. We incorporate them into meal planning, budgeting, and nutrition education. They help offset food costs, offer therapeutic recreation, and encourage healthy habits.”
– Megan DeAngelis, Manager of Family Wellness Bridge Communities garden site
