Before we joined Urban Wholistics, there was nothing on our balcony. Now, we have a table full of plants along with half of that table with plants from our neighbors, who were inspired after the tomatoes and mint plants that you gave us to plant at our home.

Truly a gem. So cool to work with gardeners who are growing community in The City of TOLEDO.
Keep Growing. Learn about Bees and plants and even a White Mulberry Tree- Oh My!

Being a part of the USYFM was a life changing experience. I gained more knowledge in gardening and what I'm putting in my body. Also, I love how everyone connected with each other and use a growth mindset when we are either planting new crops or when we are picking fresh food. I would most definitely recommend the youth to come to the program because you will make new friends and gain more knowledge. THANK YOU MS. SONIA!
