Spring is here! and so is the Urban Growers Workshop Series at Lauter Park!Â
GROW Windham is a collaboration of community partners dedicated to promoting access to healthy food in the Windham region through the support of community food projects and food- and garden-based youth programming.
Our focus areas include:
- K-12 Programming in all of the Windham Public Schools;
- The Windham Youth CORE, our high school youth program, in which participants develop leadership skills while implementing projects that support the local food system;
- Community Programs, such as the Windham Community Food Network and expanding the Willimantic Farmers’ Market.
