Food insecurity and food access are serious problems for many people in Charlottesville and Albemarle County. Community gardens—land cultivated by a group of people individually or collectively—can help. Join Aleen Carey (Executive Director, Cultivate Charlottesville) and leaders of Piedmont Master Gardeners community garden projects to learn about the scope of food insecurity in our area, some of the efforts to address it, and simple things you can do in your own garden to help. Our other speakers will include Edward Brooks, community engagement program manager for the B.F. Yancey School Community Center in Porters-Esmont, and Ann Majewski, a Master Gardener and a volunteer with the Bread & Roses ministry of Trinity Episcopal Church in Charlottesville.
