Youth Gardening
Durham Inner-City Gardeners

DIG IS…

a youth-driven,
urban farming leadership development program.

Durham Inner-city Gardeners (DIG) empowers teens by teaching organic gardening, sound business practices, healthy food choices and food security values. The program emphasizes sustainable living and growing practices, ecological balance, and the natural recycling of organic materials for plant health and nourishment. DIG youth are paid a stipend to cultivate fruits, vegetables, herbs, flowers and mushrooms, which they sell at the Durham Farmer's Market.

It's not too early to think about starting your application for the next DIG session. Applications are due in June for the session beginning in July. Email us at info@seedsnc.org or call (919) 683-1197 for the exact due date.
