Start with a seed. End with a Meal. The Massachusetts Horticultural Society's Garden to Table Program offers the public an opportunity to come together in a beautiful and welcoming setting to learn about growing, cooking, and preserving healthy food. Everyone from Michelle Obama to the American Academy of Pediatrics agrees that fruits and vegetables must play a crucial role in improving our health and, especially, the health of our children. In fact, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's new symbol for healthy eating - called "My Plate" - tells us that half our diet should be fruits and vegetables. Mass Hort is uniquely situated to help in this effort. Since 1829, Mass Hort has been a leader in learning and teaching about horticulture. With our Garden to Table program, we're offering our knowledge of plants to enhance the well-being of our community. Support a Food Pantry Approximately 40% of our new garden will be devoted specifically to growing food that we'll donate to the Wellesley Food Pantry, the Natick Food Pantry, and A Place To Turn. These pantries serves a large and diverse group of people. Massachusetts Horticultural Society is pleased to support the Pantry's efforts to provide healthy and nutritious vegetables to local families.
