Strengthening Communities One Garden at a Time
Why Community Gardens?
At the root level, it’s about two of the building blocks of strong communities: food security and education. A strong community requires the ability to sustainably access healthy, nutritious food, and there’s no better way than educating and empowering communities to garden ecologically.
Community gardens bear other fruits as well to help strengthen communities:
Getting people outside, away from screens, and connecting with nature
Providing positive community aesthetic
Promoting healthy eating and living
Bringing people together for positive socialization and collaboration
Academic enrichment
Youth Development
Respecting and caring for the environment
Who Do We Partner With?
Community Groups
