Shelter and Outreach for Women
My Little Garden is a hands-on community workshop where participants will create their own mini pot garden of vegetables and herbs to take home.
In this interactive session, participants will plant one vegetable and one herb of their choice and learn simple ways to grow and care for them at home. These plants can later be used when preparing meals, bringing fresh ingredients and a sense of accomplishment into everyday cooking.
