A Word from GardenShare’s Executive Director – CArlene Doane

I am excited to be part of GardenShare’s 30th anniversary celebration. Looking through the history – programs, events, activities, dinners, conferences, long time partnerships and so much more to bring the community together, we also look ahead to the future of the organization. Over the years, GardenShare has stayed true to its grassroots beginnings and kept our focus on what matters most to us – feeding our community and supporting farmers. We are a small but mighty organization which allows us to evolve with the times and the needs around us. In 2027, we are launching a new strategic plan that will help us to rise to the changing landscape and growing needs in St Lawrence County. This plan will help us to hone our activities, give clear direction, and to make clear to potential funders what matters to GardenShare. I encourage you to read it so you can join with us as we continue to work towards a community where there are Healthy Foods, Healthy Farms, and Everybody Eats.
