Sow Grow Savor is an intergenerational edible gardening program established with the support of a UConn IDEA Grant last summer (2020) by Sarah Platt '22.
We are currently seeking UConn students —gardeners, cooks, eaters, readers, writers, creators, explorers— to help us grow the program and further our impact on shoreline communities.
Through this program, participants of all ages celebrate the season’s bounty together by developing recipes that incorporate the ripe produce they’ve grown in their home gardens or helped grow in the Madison Senior Center raised-bed garden. They also attend virtual and in-person meetings with local farmers, Master Gardeners, and chefs. We are currently compiling recipes shared by our participants and guest speakers into a community cookbook to be sold during a fundraiser in downtown Madison later this fall.
The following volunteer positions are available as of 9/3/2021:
- Advertising & marketing manager (ideally has experience with Aurora WordPress but not required)
- Cookbook illustrator
- Cookbook graphic designer
- Cookbook editor
