Columbia Chronicles: Food for Thought – Sarah Hudock-Jeffrey

When the pandemic struck, more people turned to gardening than ever before. Some picked it up as a hobby, others wanted to relieve stress, and many needed a way to put food on the table. However, many of these people were new gardeners in need of guidance. In Columbia, Community Garden Coordinator Jacqueline Williams used to teach in-person gardening classes, but these programs were put on hold. Reporter Sarah Hudock-Jeffrey shows us how Williams found a way to create a virtual community of gardeners from all backgrounds that take advice from Williams and help each other out.
