The Parkview Community Greenhouse & Learning Kitchen provides greater access to fresh, affordable produce and engages our community with fun opportunities to learn new skills at home—in the kitchen and the garden. By adding fresh fruits and vegetables into your daily lifestyle, you are contributing to disease prevention, overall well-being and healthy habits.

The Learning Kitchen classes include cooking demonstrations and hands-on activities designed to build the skills needed to select, grow and cook fresh food.
