Growing Local (Sean Forbes & Jessi Riel)

Sean Forbes and Jessi Riel of O Grows join the show this week to share about the incredible work being done by the community at the gardens. Started in 2012, O Grows has transformed from an educational program through school gardens in Opelika to a community gardening and education initiative that seeks to address food insecurity in our area. The word localism comes to describe the way in which the gardens provide work, food, and gathering places for local people. It has become its own sort of ecosystem, bringing life and joy to downtown Opelika!
