The Garden is Growing for Maine Harvest for Hunger

Maine Harvest for Hunger is a program of the University of Maine Cooperative Extension that encourages gardeners to provide fresh fruits and vegetables to hungry people in Maine. The Scarborough Community Garden weighs our harvests each week and reports the totals to Maine Harvest to Hunger. Did you know: Maine ranks 17th in the nation and 1st in New England in terms of  food insecurity (hunger). 24%, or nearly 1 in every 4 children, are food insecure.

We think Master Gardeners are awesome -- they helped us get our garden ready to plant last year, and this year awarded a seed grant to help us keep growing. Thank you!
