County Supervisor Nathen Fletcher Promotes Bayside's Tiny Gardens

Wednesday, April 14, 2021 County Supervisor Nathan Fletcher visited Bayside Community Center’s weekly distribution of emergency food and fresh produce to promote the Tiny Gardens program and encourage environmentally sustainable solutions to food insecurity in the region.

“All you need is the bag and you can grow some of your own produce. Its good for your family, you have good, healthy, locally grown produce, but its also incredibly good for the environment when you look at the greenhouse gas emissions associated with transporting produce and the movement of food,” Fletcher comments.

Adam Osorio, Associate Director of Communications at Bayside adds, “Our Tiny Gardens program is really important, especially in food deserts like Linda Vista, because we’re doing more than just giving food away. We’re teaching residents how to grow and produce their own food right at home and with minimal porch or yard space.”

Bayside Community Center will conclude their first cohort of the Tiny Gardens program in November 2021. The second cohort is expected to launch in December 2021.
