With training from Purdue University’s Urban Agriculture Certificate program she learned how to multiply her growing capacity, to scale up from backyard gardener to food producer. She wanted to start a community garden to help meet the fresh food needs of the people in her neighborhood. Moore, a barber and a comedian, discovered she had another dream. Most recently, she’s turned her gardening prowess to a project to help her far east side Indianapolis neighborhood. In the years since, Moore, 44, has grown her own herbs or vegetables on her patio or in her yard in Lawrence, in the Indianapolis metro area.
As a child she spent weeks in the summer on a great uncle’s farm discovering the joy of gardening and eating vegetables straight from the fields.
Sharrona Moore learned at an early age growing food doesn’t have to be difficult. Volunteers at Lawrence Community Gardens survey rabbit damage to broccoli plants earlier this year.
