Growing Our Community...Through Gardening

Community gardens transform empty lots into green, living spaces.

They are collaborative projects created by members of the community; residents share in both the maintenance and rewards of the garden.

These gardens produce food that is local, affordable, and in-season. They also create important biodiversity in cities, supporting insects and birds, creating habitat, filtering air and buffering noise.

The simple act of planting a garden can create positive environmental, economic, and social impacts on a neighborhood. Community gardens foster cultural understanding and an awareness of the environment around us.
