ORGANIC COMMUNITY GARDEN
The EnVision Center’s Organic Community Garden, generously sponsored by Josh Wright from Anthem Medicaid and with the support of the Virginia Cooperative Extension, has become a lively space for our community. Throughout the spring, summer, and fall, our team members and neighbors come together to plant, care for, and harvest fresh, organic vegetables. The staff at the EnVision Center regularly harvests and delivers vegetables to the residents of Melrose Towers and Morningside Manor. We encourage everyone in the Roanoke Valley, especially RRHA and Section 8 residents, to stop by and enjoy some delicious, locally-grown produce!
Wondering how to get fresh, free produce?
Visit the EnVision Center in the afternoon to check out freshly picked produce from the organic garden, or grab a bag from the gold mailbox to harvest your own. While you’re there, feel free to ask about volunteer opportunities!
We’ve added these arrows to help you identify which vegetables are ready to be picked. When you visit the garden to harvest, please follow the signs and remember to leave enough for others to enjoy. If you have any questions, feel free to stop by the Center, and our staff will be happy to assist.
What’s growing in our garden right now?
Our community garden is officially underway! We’re currently growing collard greens, kale seedlings, carrots, beets, turnips, radishes, and peas. We expect to harvest our first veggies by mid-May!
