Harvest of Hope manages two community garden sites in Washington County. Plots in the garden are available to community members free of charge. Gardeners agree to donate a portion of the produce they grow for Harvest of Hope to distribute to pantries and free meal programs. The gardens serve several purposes. The vegetables meet a nutritional need for many of the families, both during the summer and throughout the year as many participants can or freeze the produce. Additionally, there is a sense of community pride that comes from the creativity and pleasure of tending an attractive garden in the middle of town.
