We’ve already started working on ideas to educate and engage our community in sustainable gardening practices. Our FFA Chapter has partnered with Michael Dickson, founder of Seed of Life Nurseries (and our FFA Landscape CDE coach) for this exciting learning experience and community outreach opportunity.

FFA: Food For All grants are provided through funding from Farmers Feeding the World and the Howard G. Buffett Foundation.
