Welcome, Mountain West gardeners! Let's drop some quick introductions to get to know each other.
I'm the Mountain West lead for this group and can help you navigate the organizations, networks, and resources available to you in our region.
My name is Maya McDowell, and I'm the Manager of Programs at SustainEd Farms in Denver, Colorado, where I combine my passion for local food systems, sustainability, and empowering young people through garden-based learning. Decades of experience in youth development and food systems work has brought me here, right where I belong!
When I'm not designing garden-based programs for Denver's youth, I'm probably cooking, reading, hiking, doing yoga, splashing around in a river, or napping with my cat Mileaux.
I'm excited to build connections with other folks in this region who are just as passionate about providing opportunities for young people to thrive in natural spaces as I am!
Who else is here? Drop an intro in the replies!
