Community Gardens

Access to fresh, nutritious food is vital to support a healthy and thriving community. A community garden can provide food security for those in need, while also creating a place to gather and learn, to work in the dirt, and to experience the reward of growing seeds into sustenance.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture defines a community garden as any shared space where people come together to grow vegetables, flowers, or any plants. Whether planting a few seeds in a window box or transforming a vacant lot into a space for an entire neighborhood to grow food, community gardening can be a worthwhile project for many people.
