Our clients at the Anja Rosenberg Kosher Food Pantry love the fresh herbs we harvest from Jessie's Community Garden here at JFS, including rosemary, dill, basil, parsley, and mint. And our local wildlife loves the broccoli, Swiss chard, potatoes, peppers, beets, and cucumbers we were *hoping* to harvest!

Every year, gardening is a learning experience. We’re excited to keep growing alongside our volunteers and friends. To learn about volunteer opportunities with Jessie's Community Garden, email JFS Volunteer and Employee Experience Coordinator Laura Miacola at [email protected], or text her at 860-970-3528.
