HRDC is a private, non-profit focused on building a better community by fighting poverty and offsetting the high cost of living for our hardworking neighbors in Southwest Montana. HRDC's Story Mill Learning Gardens take a unique approach to community gardens in which the garden is managed by HRDC staff and volunteers but open to the entire community for harvest. Partners use the Garden for educational programming, therapeutic activities, and wellness opportunities. Our garden goals are multifaceted in that we want to grow more nutritious food for our customers, provide spaces for therapeutic and educational programming, and decrease stigma of the reality of food insecurity.
