Youth Garden and Orchard Project
Our most recent effort with our Nimiipuu Canoe project and working with the Lapwai Elementary School After School Program has been to develop other ways to help the youth expand their knowledge of gardens and fruit trees.
As Lapwai is fairly rural, we are developing a Youth Garden and Orchard that will assist in the food and nutrition needs of the local community.
While we work to develop this program for the local community, we also plan to eventually expand the garden and fruit tree orchard to serve the other two main communities on our reservation.
This Youth Garden/Orchard project supplements our new “Nimiipuu Buffalo Project” both of which will help us to develop more “Food Security” for the Nimiipuu and other community members. We do not discriminate on who gets our fruits and vegetables when we do distributions.
If you are interested in getting involved in this project or providing other support please feel free to contact us or come join us on Wednesdays at our Nimiipuu Canoe Site on Beaver Grade Road in Lapwai, Idaho.
