In addition, we have an herb garden, composting operation and a perimeter perennial and native flower garden. Our garden and harvesting volunteers are trained in Good Agriculture Practices (GAP) and our garden is RI GAP certified. All the vegetables produced are donated to local community food pantries.

Other than planting, garden maintenance, and harvesting, we provide Saturday public huddles during the season on a variety of garden topics, as well as an Open House with professional and amateur cooking demonstrations and garden talks. The Open House occurs in August and is provided free to the general public.
