VICTORY GARDEN INITIATIVE -HELPING TO END FOOD DESERTS

'5PNA  is more than appreciative and overjoyed with VGI's initiative to help end food deserts and promote healthy eating.  5 new orchards were planted this year including 5PNA.s community orchard.  Residents are excited and have been working to engender full neighborhood engagement with the initiative.  VGI is also planting two garden beds along with 5PNA's orchards.

WE are looking forward to these fruitful seasons and neighborhood cohesiveness.  VGI garden Blitz is around the corner!!!

Here are some pictures from the orchard event.  Follow the link.

Thanks to Gretchen Mead, Alex Hagler, and Kelly Brands Moore for their consistent participation with 5PNA and molding.  Our tree class was excellent!!!
