Our friends at RGFP have a beautiful urban garden on-site where clients can learn how to grow their own fresh produce. The garden boasts 19 raised beds, a fruit orchard, additional growing areas for growing 20+ varieties of fruits and vegetables and a 5,000-gallon rain catchment system which allows RGFP to use rainwater to minimize city water usage. Once harvested, the crops are weighed and distributed immediately through their weekly food boxes.
All this wonderful growing takes work - so grab your gardening gloves and join us for a morning in the dirt!
