Curious about getting more involved within community projects based on gardening and food justice? The Kansas City Community Gardens created a non-profit Giving Grove to close the gaps with access to food access when it comes to fresh fruits, nuts, and berries. And we had the opportunity to speak with their main Horticulturist Matt Bunch! We go into detail about pest control, what the average grove looks like, and how folks can get involved with projects like this. As giving grove has expanded its model throughout the country more cities are gaining public access to fresh fruits, super rad.
