With so many people looking to grow their own food, I imagine there are folks who want some assistance in getting their own gardens up and running. I also know there are many families in our immediate area who would greatly benefit from a fruit/veggie garden's rich bounty. I would like to organize the Cole/Whittier Gardening Collective, comprised of members of these neighborhoods who are willing to use their yards/berms as garden spaces. The yields would benefit both the grower and members of the community, i.e. local food pantries, shelters, etc.
