We're excited to welcome Memia McAllister as the new Urban Agriculture Ambassador (UAA)!
In partnership with GrowBoston Boston’s Office of Urban Agriculture, we’re hosting one of four UAAs working across Boston. The UAAs will provide gardening education and support to residents and organizations in their communities — The Food Project's area of focus is in Dorchester.
Memia is a passionate gardener and community advocate who began her gardening journey in her own backyard. Through hands-on experience and attending countless workshops, Memia gained insight on soil health, seed starting, and the magic and wonderfulness of watching something thrive under your care.
Memia has a 5 year old daughter who often helps her at their own community garden. Whether she's planting with a child, leading a workshop, or giving away seedlings grown with care, Memia's mission is rooted in growth; of plants, people and purpose.
🌱Boston gardeners, Memia’s here to help! Send her your gardening questions at [email protected].
🌱 She will also be at the Dudley Farmers Market next Thursday, August 7 from 2 - 6 P.M. at Dudley St. & Blue Hill Ave, Roxbury!
