Five years ago, the Wardensville Garden Market consisted only of 10 high school Junior Crew Members, two leaders, and a small garden with a greenhouse. Since then, we have grown into three successful social enterprises and a staff of over 80. But, what has come of some of the original Junior Crew, you might ask? Ethan, one of the original ten and one of the remaining three still working with us, sent an update, and we’d love to share!


We could not be more proud of how far Ethan has come, and we are grateful we get to support him along the way through intern and scholarship opportunities.
If you would like to help us continue this mission, support us today!

Marketing Lead
Hi there! I am Natalie, and I was one of the original Junior Crew hires back in 2016! Since then, I have graduated from WVU with my B.S in Political Science and PR. I am currently working in our Marketing Department as I work towards my M.S in Integrated Marketing Communications. I couldn’t be happier to share about the current youth we have working here and help YOU see the difference you’ve made in our lives!
