Master Gardener Volunteers program cited in Ellsworth American article on Hancock garden
The Ellsworth American reported the Hancock Community Garden, which has been planted and harvested for six years, was recently expanded by about 1,300 square feet. The garden is farmed by residents as well as members of the University of Maine Master Gardener Volunteers program, according to the article. “The enlargement is for the Master Gardeners to be able to grow more food to donate,” said Renata Moise, a member of the Community Garden Committee. “The Master Gardeners have donated thousands of pounds of organic produce over the last few years.” The donations are made under the Maine Harvest for Hunger program, an outreach program of UMaine Extension.
