Description

**Hey all, we have decided to keep this event going but with the proper safety measures in place. We believe that the outdoors will be a haven during these times of hunkering down. If you are unwell, please stay home and take care of yourself. If you decide to join us, we have hand-sanitizing stations and Clorox wipes to keep everything disinfected. We just washed all our work gloves, should you choose to use those. We are limiting attendance to 8 people so we can make sure we all have enough room to maintain a proper distance. We want you all to enjoy the bounty of the garden without worrying about your safety. We will continue to monitor the situation and make the best decisions we can with the information we have.** Get your hands dirty in our Pollinator Garden while sipping wine and other tasty beverages compliments of The Well Fed Community Garden! All ages are welcome but please note: Alcoholic beverages are only served to those who bring an I.D. proving they are 21 years of age or older. Sweet Peas Urban Gardens is an urban farm at the forefront of innovative climate resilient modes of vertical indoor agriculture. We produce organic microgreens, baby leafy greens, edible flowers and mushrooms in compact urban and peri-urban indoor spaces. Owned and operated by women and minorities, the Business recognizes that accelerating forces of climate change and environmental costs of industrial farming have diminished the extent and productivity of arable land, and pose unprecedented environmental, economic and health risks. Globalization and delocalization of existing food supply chains are unable to adequately respond to concerns about the net carbon footprint, diminishing nutrition, and health safety concerns of industrially produced food. The social, environmental and economic costs of industrial farming are borne by taxpayers and consumers, making existing food systems unsustainable. Increasing public awareness of these problems has dramatically increased demand for foods produced and distributed by alternative food systems. Sweet Peas is proud to partner with the Well Fed Community Garden in 2020 in an effort to continue the mission of growing organic fruites and vegetables for our neighbors and the Raleigh community at large.
