Lindley Elementary School, in the heart of Lindley Park has a garden. Parents and community members help this neighborhood school grow vegetables, a life-skill that the students are likely to remember and carry into the next generation. The parents of Lindley Elementary have a stand at the Corner Market-  at the the corner of Walker and Elam. If your school wants to know more about this homegrown initiative, stop by the Lindley Elementary table on Saturday mornings to get some good ideas and great produce.

Greensboro is getting more and more “keep it local” pop ups. Often they are art related, but as in the case above, they include other purposes, like procuring locally sourced food. Often, the pop ups become well-established and regularly scheduled. To enjoy the Greensboro community this weekend, visit one of our farmers’ markets. Even the local, side-of-the-road produce stands are usually staffed by people who love to talk, especially if you like to hear stores about how their gardens are growing! Here’s to good eating and building community.
