Welcome to The Great Garden

The Great Garden project was conceived in 2004 to provide an opportunity for students and community members to learn about healthier eating habits, and the skills and space to be able to grow their own food. In addition, a percentage of the garden's harvests will go to the local food banks, providing many community members with fresh locally grown produce. 

The Great Garden is passionate about growing a strong healthy community. Together we can and will grow not only fresh locally grown food, but a healthy place for our family, friends and neighbors.

Yummy Recipe featuring...Broccoli!

Broccoli Stir Fry

1 Tbsp olive oil
2 small onions, chopped
4 cloves garlic minced
2 inch piece of ginger, minced
1 portabello mushroom, chopped
1 head of broccoli, chopped how you like (I like my pieces sort of big)
Crushed red chillies to taste
3 Tbsp (give or take) Braggs Liquid Aminos (or soy sauce, tamari, etc)
1 Tbsp rice vinegar
1 Tbsp water

Heat oil in large wok on medium heat. Sautee onions until starting to be translucent. Add in garlic and ginger and sautee another 1-2 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients and sautee for another 2 minutes. Turn heat to low, cover, and cook until broccoli is tender.

This would also be good with brown rice, or soba noodles.
