How this board came together

Joy Grows incorporated (as Annapolis Ag Inc) in 2021. After Pantha brought Matthew to build a garden with Donna and their community at Harbour House, Joy Grows got serious about building its governance and funding to meet their potential impact of working with Annapolis’s subsidized housing communities. Before partnering with Pantha, Matthew knew there was work to do but didn’t have a clear project. Pantha’s vision for her, her family’s and her wider community’s health and wellbeing provided a framework for Matthew’s ambition and they’ve made a great team ever since.
