Hi! My name is Deb Winther and I'm a volunteer with Resilient Roots. I enjoy working every week at our demonstration garden at Fuller Farm in Marston Mills. It's there that I've learned so much about organic and regenerative gardening practices that I've put to use in my own garden with amazing results. I'm excited to join the Resilient Roots team in the Second Summer Cycle event on September 15, 2024. My goal is to raise money to support the important work that Resilient Roots provides to our local Cape Cod community. Please consider a donation in any amount to benefit this wonderful organization. Read on to learn more about Resilient Roots.
