Food is foundational to our health and wellness. This session explores how we can cultivate and leverage community connections to support gardening, farmers markets, and more to increase our impact, support lifelong learning, and play a role in sustainable community food systems. To do this work, we’ll look in depth at how since 2014, High Point Public Library has worked with an ever-expanding number of community partners to host a teaching garden, a farmers market, and a variety of free, educational classes. You’re then invited to join a conversation about how you too can get involved to make a difference.
