Intro

Hi there, curious minds! I'm Crafty Clover! Let's discover something amazing. How can gardeners share extra vegetables?

The Big Idea

Sometimes a garden grows too much! What can you do with the extras? Share them!

Extras

Step one: Extras. When a garden grows more than a family can eat, the extras can go to neighbors, friends, a community fridge, or a food bank. Fresh food is too good to waste.

Food Banks

Step two: Food Banks. Many food banks gladly accept fresh, clean produce. Some gardeners even plant an extra row on purpose to give away.

Building Friendships

Step three: Building Friendships. Sharing food builds friendships and helps people who might not have fresh vegetables. Ask a grown-up to help find a place that accepts donations.
