Well House celebrates the harvest from its first urban garden

Local nonprofit Well House, which provides safe and affordable housing for the homeless, will celebrate the harvest from its new urban garden with a free block party on Saturday afternoon.

According to the article:

“We’re celebrating the first harvest with our new and expanded urban farming program. We were able to grow food for our tenants, some of our neighbors and sold extra produce at local farm markets,” Tami VandenBerg, executive director of Well House said.  “An urban farm is more than a ‘nice’ thing to do. It provides good, healthy food for people who’ve been without access, some for many years. It provides a skill-building work environment and shows our neighborhood that our yards and open space can be used for community good,” said VandenBerg.
