In the Briggs Avenue Garden is a community garden in Durham, where Master Gardeners help low-income families grow their own food. Master Gardeners are trained gardeners, who volunteer part of their time in community gardens, such as the Briggs Avenue Garden. With the help of the Master Gardeners, low-income families can apply for a plot in the garden, in which they can grow their own food. Some crops, such as okra, corn and sweet potatoes are grown communally. In addition, to helping the families grow their own food, Master Gardeners deliver hands-on nutrition education and create opportunities for the youth to develop agriculture related business skills. The Briggs Garden has around 60 plots, which are worked the entire year, as well as example orchards, where are used to demonstrate how to manage large–scale orchards. The Briggs garden also offers agricultural classes weekly on Fridays to Durham Technical Community Garden College. These students grow food in 6 large beds not only to learn horticulture techniques but also to provide fresh fruits and vegetables to the Durham Tech Harvest Food Bank on campus. The Briggs Garden is a Duck Race Selling Partner. Additionally, every season, members from the Sunrise club go to the garden together for a Saturday to help with gardening chores, such as planting seeds, removing compost, or clearing paths
