This event is meant to bring together local gardeners from all skill levels to share seeds, suggestions, and stories. Gardeners of all ages are strongly encouraged to bring seeds to share- but seed sharing is not required. Allegany County Master Gardeners will be present to help visitors navigate the event and to answer any garden-related questions.

Representing Allegany County:
County workgroups have started their work! Each workgroup is searching for the stakeholders that can help lay the groundwork for exacting change in the local food system. Stakeholders may already be working on food system issues and the workgroups can augment those efforts by coordinating efforts across organizations.
If you or your organization are working with issues related to food in Western Maryland, we need you! Please contact us to learn how you can be involved.
