community garden & interpretive learning center
Read and Seed blends Health Literacy and Parent Literacy into a fun and engaging program where participants learn about:
- Growing fruits and vegetables
- Healthy and delicious recipes
- Fun, food-related family activities
Read and Seed is free and open to all KLC learners. Parents are encouraged to attend Family Literacy Days with their children so they can learn together. We will have fun with tips and strategies for keeping families living healthier lives.
In the garden, we’re growing beans, strawberries, corn, lettuce, spinach, pumpkins, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, chives, and zucchini. We even have sunflowers and a butterfly garden! Browse the photo gallery below.

family literacy days
Family Literacy Days are back for the 2023 season! From May – November, we will host monthly gatherings in the community garden. Families will enjoy fun and creative activities designed for all ages. Our special focus on multi-generational literacy means parents and kids will love learning together about everything from gardening, to healthy eating, to wellness and of course, reading & writing skills.
In case of rain, main activities will take place indoors in the Adult Education and Training wing inside Goodwill Industries of Southwest Michigan.
