Throughout the growing season, Master Gardeners regularly visit Red Wiggler Community Farm and other local farms to gather fruits and vegetables for donation to organizations dedicated to reducing food insecurity in the county. On July 2, 2025, a small group of MGs gathered brassicas as well as flowers. Here are MGs Linda Barrett, Tom Stahl, and Melanie Zeck at Red Wiggler Community Farm.
We gleaned three kinds of kale and collard greens. Summer apprentices at Red Wiggler assisted with the gleaning.
We also picked sunflowers and zinnias.
The gleaned brassicas and flowers were all donated to Manna Food Center and Vietnamese American Services.
