Growing and Serving

Thanks to a partnership with Mohawk Global and Capital Roots, generous donations from the First Reformed Church of Schenectady and the Common Roots Foundation, and the work of many neighborhood volunteers, we are expanding our garden in 2026!

Our garden is growing! Our apple trees are planted! We are adding raised beds in the coming weeks. Come by and enjoy our garden space. 

Forty Flames for Forty Years of TAUM!
