YALL. We have these young people OUT HERE growing something beautiful on Addison Road and I need everybody to pay attention. 👀🌱

The Capital Market is putting a community garden RIGHT at UCAPPGC headquarters, and when it’s done? Almost 1600 sf of growing space for families at their facility. Let that sit for a second. SPACE.

Room to breathe, learn, get your hands dirty, and remember that you deserve nourishment in every sense of the word.

And can we talk about our newest TCM Ambassadors for a second? 🙌🏾 Out here getting put ON by Kenny Da Farmer and Sean's Veggie Garden Real knowledge, passed hand to hand, generation to generation. That’s DMV excellence right there — quiet, consistent, been doing the work.

Alright ya’ll!!! We’re building a teaching apiary at our garden site in Capitol Heights, MD.

Huge shout out to our beekeeping mentor Frank Fennell and sunflower_1981 for helping us bring this vision to life. What started as an idea is turning into a space where community can learn, grow, and get hands-on with pollinators.

Whether you’re curious about beekeeping or are already a pro come join our beehive. No experience needed—just bring your curiosity and community spirit.

Drop a 🐝 in the comments or send us a DM if you want to pull up to the next session.

We meet THIS Tuesday 5pm - 6pm.
