Summer of Solutions Hartford

Summer of Solutions Hartford In 2011, Summer of Solutions Hartford implemented a community garden in the Zion Street community of Hartford CT.

At Summer of Solutions in Hartford, we advocate for food security, encourage youth leadership, facilitate community workshops on equity and inclusion, and help our own communities regain power over their own food production. Networking with local non-profit organizations, fundraising via potlucks and ask letters, and connecting with the neighbors, gave the solutionaries the ability to put in over

50 raised beds, each of which are gardened by members of the community. In 2012, we worked with Trinity College students to build the Broad Street Garden, and started school gardening programs at the Burns Latino Studies Academy and the Annie Fisher Montessori School. In 2013, we expanded to 3 more sites; the Asian Studies Academy, Moylan Montessori School, and the Connecticut River Academy. In 2014, we are starting a 7-month internship program for young people to work on urban agriculture projects from April 1st-October 31st! In 2020, we opened Pink Pantry and started the Feeding The Hood Mutual Aid for families in Greater Hartford!

Hello everyone,

First of I would like to apologize for not being active with our mutual aid, i have been struggling with my health but am still dedicated to the work and is still running our community mutual aid.

Feeding the Hood Mutual Aid was designed to advocate for those poc living real life day to day trauma. It's a organization ran by black activist fighting for our people while also living in poverty.

Please understand that not every activist have it together. I have been organizing mutual aid while working multiple jobs, and while constantly being in and out the hospital. And it would not be possible to be going for a third year without the supporters we have gained on this platform.

In honor of February we are kicking off our mutual aid! With keeping our pantries loaded with goods for our communities.

Pantry location: 576 Zion Street, hartfod and 127 Martin street Hartford.

Drop off location is also 52 Woodland drive if you have a bigger delivery.

Tell me there was a heatwave plus drought without telling me…

🥔This is the crop from one of our potato experiments. Potatoes do not like to get too hot - they turn out small, with a small crop. 🥵

Last slide aka How it started.
We lined a milk crate with a porous barrier material, inspired by . We like this container garden for it’s apartment-friendly small footprint.

Unfortunately, climate change did not help our mid-season spuds.
