Save the date for June 23rd at 9 AM EST, when we will have James Wilson from Virginia Cooperative Extension come talk about bees in community gardens.

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?”
