In 2018, Melody Price noticed that many in her local community were in need of food. Not just food, but fresh produce. 🌶️

Price’s passion for gardening overlapped with this need, and soon she began what is now the Spokane Community Garden Alliance (SCGA). 🥬

Over the past few years, the SCGA has grown into a small group of volunteers who use sustainable methods to grow, harvest, and deliver fresh produce to local families in need. 🥰

Since 2018, the non-profit organization has delivered almost 5000 lbs. of organic produce to area families. Finish the rest of the article on our website - link in bio! 🌱

While many vegetables are planted in spring, it is important to plant garlic in fall. Most varieties of garlic need a few months of winter weather to produce strong and large bulbs. There are hardneck and softneck varieties. Hardneck garlic produces a garlic scape which can also be used in cooking. The softneck varieties do not produce garlic scapes. Their bulb necks are soft and can be braided together with other softneck garlic. Garlic leaves can also be delicious used in cooking. Reasd more at edibleinlandnw.com - link in bio!

River City Youth Ops began with a mission, to create opportunities for youth to grow and enrich their community.

Their summer program teaches adolescents what it takes to get food onto a plate from seed to sale. RCYO students use a small plot of land at the Abbey in West Central as the site of their urban farm.

The summer begins as they tend the soil before planting seeds. Over the season, students learn to care for the crops, how to compost, harvest, and even cook the food they grow. The group even goes on to sell the produce they grow. 🥒🥬🥦

Community members from every corner of the city have come together to gather, build and fill each LFP to assist the larger efforts of local food banks. For Caritas, Board member Bob Walker says “the reason for building Little Free Pantries geographically developed a deeper meaning to our Mission.” Traditionally, they have primarily served Northeast Spokane but with this project they found themselves outside of their typical footprint.
