Our crew spent the morning volunteering at the Ridgely Senior Center! The seniors learned about the benefits of growing their own herbs for heart-healthy cooking. 🪴

Today, they planted fresh parsley, thyme, rosemary, basil, and cilantro. We’re excited to watch these herbs grow and be used right here in our community! 💚🍀👩🏻‍🌾

Community partnerships are the cornerstone of our success, and we couldn’t be more thankful to the Ridgely Senior Center for having us today.
