AURELIAS GARDEN INC

Description

2024 Initiatives:

• As always, our primary goal is to GROW MORE FOOD!
• Resource Sharing to reduce economic barriers to growing food
  • Seed Sharing - We have started a seed library to save seeds from vegetables, herbs, and flowers we grow. These will be freely shared through food pantries, local libraries, and church and community centers.
  • Seedling donations - grow and donate vegetable seedlings.
  • Potted herb donations - we have begun donating various potted culinary herbs.
• Research: A strong food system starts with access to strong seed varieties adapted for our local growing conditions and resilient to a changing climate. Aurelia’s Garden is actively participating in research to:
  • Conduct variety trials and report results back to the farming community and through our website and social media outlets
  • Breed new vegetable varieties that are more resilient and adapted to our changing climate
  • Adapt existing varieties to be more robust and able to thrive under tough growing conditions
• Aurelia’s Garden as a model for like-minded groups
  • Provide mentorship to other budding volunteer farms
  • Deliver workshops freely to community groups about growing food
  • Provide how-to guides on our website, social media, and through conferences and other community events
