The Alstead Community Garden offers free garden plots to residents and volunteers tend a large garden to provide nutrient dense fresh produce the Fall Mountain Food Shelf and Friendly Meals programs. New this year, the Community Garden will be hosting and partnering with the Garden Meals program. Since 2005, Garden Meals has been working with adults with developmental disabilities.

• Plant, tend, and harvest fresh vegetables and fruit together
• Have hands on cooking classes where knife safety, cooking technique, and balanced meals are emphasized
• Have group activities such as games and lessons to teach nutrition and provide exposure to healthy eating techniques
• Go on walks around the community to see neighbors gardens, animals, and more
• Eat nutritious food together

Okay, the Tinman Garden Guardian made it through the winter with some minor damadge, but he's still keeping the garden safe and sound! Who is ready to get this garden back into shape? Great exercise, great food, great mission! :)

Woo! We got another small grant from the NH Council on Developmental Disabilities for this year's Garden Meals program! It's wonderful to not only have the financial support but the moral support from professionals that understand the importance of gardening and good food for independence and quality of life! Thank you!

It was great to have a table yesterday at Alstead's 250th anniversary festival! In addition to getting some great exposure and local people interested in volunteering, we were able to get some donations in exchange for some of the extra packets of seed from the giant seed donation. Are you looking for some good quality seed for your garden and want to make a donation? Or do you work with another community garden or garden project and want some free seeds? Let us know!
