Here are some things you can do this summer to learn about vegetable gardening, whether you have a green thumb or not:
#1 – Volunteer for Produce Pick-up at Stearns Farm
From mid-June to October, Edwards Church brings fresh produce every week from Stearns Farm on Edmands Road in Framingham to the Hope Food Pantry in downtown Framingham. Anyone can sign up to pick up the food on a Friday afternoon and make the delivery to the pantry on Saturday morning. The farm is in a beautiful, historic part of Framingham, and this job can be completed by all ages. For more information, please contact Mary Memmott at 508-202-2229 or by email: memmottm@gmail.com. You can also sign for a week using this link.
#2 – Save the Date for the 14th Annual Framingham Vegetable Gardens Tour
Saturday, August 23 – 9 am-12 pm
Sponsored by Transition Framingham, this event showcases home and community gardens in Framingham.
Save the date for a creative and inspiring event, whether you are thinking about starting a garden, have one already, or just enjoy learning about how your community members grow food all over our city!
