World Kitchen Garden Day is an annual, decentralized celebration of food produced on a human-scale. It is recognized each year on the 4th Sunday of August. It is an opportunity for people around the world to gather in their gardens with friends, family, and members of their local community to celebrate the multiple pleasures and benefits of home-grown, hand-made foods.
Goals:
-To celebrate the positive role of organic kitchen gardening in society,
health, and gastronomy
-To raise awareness about the benefits of eating local and to encourage people
to explore local food options in their areas
-To build community spirit, at local and international levels, around the
universal experiences of gardening, cooking, and eating
