Gardening for Healthier Communities

Save to Favorites

This has been a terrific season for the DNA Initiative’s Gardening for Healthier Communities series. We’re encouraged by the number of families we have been able to support by harvesting fresh organic produce. We are also proud that we have began to get residents thinking about healthy food options and how they too can make their community stronger and more resilient.

Join us Saturday June 23rd at 9:00 AM as we continue this year’s Designing Neighborhood Agriculture (DNA) projects. We will once again focus on the team effort that goes into protecting organic food resources.

Gardening for Healthier Communities combines topical conversations, active working sessions, and farming education to highlight the importance and need for fresh organic produce in highly populated urban areas. The Lampkin Foundation has partnered with Huerta Del Valle, a non-profit, to host a day of farming. If you don’t mind getting your hands dirty, this is the event for you!

Huerta Del Valle's goal is to provide all 160,000 people residing in the city of Ontario with accessible organic food. They also endeavor to foster, cultivate, and build stronger relationships within the region.
