What We Do
Growing Connections • Sharing Knowledge
Building Resilience
After the success of our Second Annual Garden Tour (200+ registrations!), CamdenCAN is launching a new Garden Group to keep the energy growing.
The Food Committee will bring together local gardeners, growers, and anyone passionate about food and community to:
🥕 Host potlucks and seasonal gatherings – share what we grow, cook, and learn.
🥕 Offer workshops and garden tours – from composting to seed saving to local food preservation.
🥕 Share resources and information – connect neighbors, promote sustainable practices, and support our local foodshed.
Whether you’re an experienced gardener, a beginner, or simply love good local food, we invite you to join us!
Together, we CAN grow a resilient and thriving local food community.
