Mission

" To encourage and assist low income persons to alleviate hunger and improve nutrition by helping them to grow and preserve their own food."

The RCAM Gardening Services help people help themselves to feed their families and improve their health. The Gardening Service provides assistance in 13 rural and largely low income communities by offering seeds, seedlings, roto-tilling services, research based information, on-site visits to support and encourage success as well as numerous educational garden related workshops such as "How to Plant," "Green Manures," "Cover Crops and Composting," "Container Gardening," "Preserving your Harvest by Canning, Freezing and Dehydrating" and "Growing and Using Herbs". To our knowledge the RCAM runs the only service of this type in the state of Maine !  The Gardening Services start up in the Spring when our Service Coordinator returns to assist you with planning, planting and harvesting your gardens. Contact the Gardening Coordinator with your interest in participating in the gardening season.

Garden Tools Project:

Are you looking for a new home for your unused rakes and hoes and other gardening tools? Contact the Gardening Coordinator to match up your unneeded tools with families who don't have the means to purchase tools for their gardening projects. You can gain some much needed space and know that your donation is assisting others to learn a new and valuable skill.
