Cultivating Community and Celebrating Diversity

Welcome to the February edition of the AmpleHarvest.org newsletter, where we celebrate love and the vibrancy and diversity of this month through food and history. As we honor Black History Month, we pay tribute to the contributions of Black farmers and gardeners who have shaped sustainable agriculture and nourished communities. February also bursts with delicious celebrations: from National Cherry Month to Potato Lovers Month, and the joys of grapefruits, sweet potatoes, avocados, and bananas. These festivities remind us of the versatility and abundance that our gardens can offer. By growing and sharing these delightful produce, we not only savor their flavors but also extend a helping hand to those in need. Join us in this fruitful journey of cultivating compassion and community through the power of gardening.
