Gardening Subcommittee Overview

The Gardening Subcommittee of the Food Council is a virtual space for community and urban gardeners in the greater Washington DC area to convene in order to build new connections, share gardening best practices, and learn about the community’s available resources and needs/wants as it relates to resident/community food production.

The Gardening Subcommittee meets bi-monthly, with special presentations, speakers, and discussion topics as a feature of each meeting. The current priorities of the Subcommittee are:

Facilitate skill-building and technical training opportunities, and collect and share information about technical assistance resources
Research, and advocate for, educational opportunities and tutorials in Montgomery County related to community/urban gardening
Highlight gardening educational opportunities and resources on a specific page on the Food Council’s website. This webpage will be designed to be a resource for the general public.
Continue supporting grant recipients who received grant awards for small space food production projects in Fall 2020
Increase support of current existing community gardening and victory gardening programs within the County
