Join us in managing and maintaining our ACCA Community Garden! If your thumb is green or just slightly green, but you enjoy being outdoors, please come explore our garden. The produce we raise goes to many of our seniors who receive Meals on Wheels, or who are recipients of groceries from our Mobile Food Pantry. And we sell produce at our weekly Produce Stand from April to early December. We have Master Gardeners who help direct the garden activities as well as schedule all of our volunteers for weekly watering, weeding and harvesting, as well as monthly Garden workdays typically held on a Saturday morning.
