Anyone who walks through one of the 11 stations through the NDG is encouraged to take something from gardeners set up in stores, restaurants, churches and even fire stations.
Organizers and volunteers will be assigned to water the garden and help design. All grown food is free, just choose what you want.

“It’s part of a global effort to make the world a stronger, greener, healthier place,” said volunteer Evelyn Ginsburg.

The organizers hope to spread the word to friends and neighbors, and encourage more people to participate. Anyone looking for more information and a list of gardens can visit IE.NDG on Facebook.
