What we’re about
LEAF is a volunteer organization addressing the climate crisis in four ways in 2020:
• Sharing growing space at our community garden for those who want to grow their own veggies
• Sharing what we grow at our food gardens with the local food banks
• Sharing what we know about regenerative agriculture and sustainable lifestyles with our community
• Partnering with like minded groups to spread the word about healthy gardening and living with less
