WIC is excited to announce that we are establishing a community garden for our participants! This project will be a partnership the Fredericksburg Food Bank and will take place at their headquarters off of Route 2.

Since this is the first year WIC will be establishing the garden, we are only asking for 15 families to participate. Our gardening program will consist of 7 inter-active gardening classes, in which the participants will learn gardening basics and implement them in the actual WIC garden. Not only that, every family will receive a gardening kit, produce from the garden and at the completion of the program will receive a $25 gas card! Keep checking the blog, we will be updating it with more information about the garden or ask your WIC nutritionist for more information.
