Exploring Crossnore and the Second Harvest Food Bank Garden

Speaker: Libit Glenn, Board President of the Food Bank Garden
Location: Betty and Jim Holmes Food Bank Garden on the Crossnore Communities for Children Campus
1001 Reynolda Road
Program begins at 6:30 PM

Jim Holmes started with a simple idea…use the urban farmland at Crossnore Communities for Children (formerly known as the Children’s Home) to raise produce for the Food Bank. Supported by an army of volunteers since its beginning in 1998, Mr. Homes’ vision of a sustainable garden free of pesticides and herbicides grows stronger with each passing year. As we work in the garden, Libit Glenn, a longtime volunteer and Board President of the Food Bank Garden, will lead a discussion about the garden and its role in Second Harvest’s Feeding Health Initiative.

Please wear clothing and shoes appropriate for working in a garden. Gloves, tools, etc. will be provided.

Beekeeping with Ben

Speaker: Ben Wilson 
Location: Davis Training Center at Crossnore Communities for Children Campus
Doors open at 6 PM | Program begins at 6:30 PM

We can all agree that bees play an important role in our ecosystem. The sustainable and environmentally friendly activity of beekeeping may be thought of as a niche hobby however, beekeeping supports biodiversity and contributes to food security and plant pollination. We are ending our year on a “hive” note as Mr. Wilson takes us on the journey of life inside the bee colony and the challenges and rewards of maintaining bees and the critical roles bees play in the environment and global economy.
