growing together initiative (COMING SOON)

WE ARE SEEKING FUNDING TO START THIS PROGRAM.

 The Mayberry Foundation goal is to help build resilient self-sustaining communities. The concept of Phase 1.1 is designed to help empower, promote and bring excitement to established community and school gardening programs through events hosted by The Mayberry Foundation at the garden itself. We will be providing DJ, GAMES, FRESH FOOD, GUEST SPEAKERS TO SPEAK ABOUT GARDENING AND MENTAL HEALTH.


REMEMBER - The Mayberry Foundation sole mission is “striving to improve the quality of human life and effect change by tackling mental health, poverty and hunger” ONE EVENT AT A TIME!  


The goal for these events are to create a positive and productive environment for participants to grow as individuals as they “learn by doing.” These garden events will allow all participants to learn across a wide spectrum of disciplines while building self esteem, new skill sets and much more. WE AIM TO MAKE GARDENING FUN while bring awareness to diabetes, high blood pressure and other health problems ALL while tackling food insecurity.  


TOGETHER. Our partnership will also provide a supportive space that promotes and tackles Mental Health.

The Growing Together Initiative events will help bring awareness and excitement that promotes the benefits of established curriculum. These events will be hands on and interactive while used as an educational purpose which will allow schools to leverage the gardening event as a means to reinforce and expand upon the curriculum taught within the classroom.
