A Fruitful Relationship

January 24, 2022 by Lorene Edwards Forkner in GROW

Tilth Alliance and The Giving Grove team to plan and plant community orchards for a healthy and equitable future.

Planting trees means you believe in tomorrow.

You’re probably familiar with Tilth Alliance, a local non-profit organization that works with Washington farmers, gardeners, and eaters to create a good and delicious and equitable food future. Now Tilth Alliance is partnering with Giving Grove, an organization whose mission is to strengthen the health and wellness of communities by facilitating a nationwide network of small sustainable orchards.

Community is the foundation of this new initiative that relies on building relationships. Following a model that’s been replicated throughout the country, in addition to sharing educational resources, Giving Grove is providing match funding and fundraising support to launch the program, in partnership with Tilth, in the Seattle/King County area. Educational materials will be adapted for local growing conditions and Tilth will do the groundwork to get trees planted where they will best meet the needs and pleasures of our community.
