Fresh veggies bring people together

Read this great article from Clemson Extension,

Fresh veggies bring people together at Synergy Garden in Fountain Inn

“If you want to bring people together, one thing unites us all. No matter the language we speak or country we come from. Regardless of race, ethnicity, color or creed.

Everybody eats.

So if you’re trying to build the bonds of community, where better to start than a garden?”

For July, we took our community gardening conversation south of the boarder with a chat with Diana Schmitt McCall from the Town of Black Mountain, North Carolina.  Diana works for Black Mountain Parks & Rec as the director of the Dr. John Wilson Community Garden.  It was a very dynamic and interesting conversation!   We are in admiration of what this community garden has accomplished over the last decade.  Learn more below.
