The Food For Thought Garden serves the clients of Food For Thought Sonoma County AIDS Food Bank. The gardens grow seasonal organic vegetables, fruits, herbs, and flowers; surround the food bank with a beautiful, healing and welcoming environment; offer opportunities for clients to garden and connect with nature; present a hands-on approach to learning about the links between food, nutrition, and well-being; provide a place for respite and gathering; and extend the food bank's work of feeding, nurturing, informing, inspiring, and supporting people living with HIV/AIDS.
The site includes diverse annual vegetable gardens, a demonstration garden with culinary and medicinal herbs, bird and butterfly attracting perennials, fruit orchards, and a productive composting and vermiculture (worm farming) program.
The Food For Thought Garden is a collaborative project of Food For Thought Sonoma County AIDS Food Bank and Occidental Arts and Ecology Center.
