Community and School Gardens

By partnering with established groups who build community gardens, we can increase access to healthy fruits and vegetables that low income people cannot afford. This gets nutrient dense foods into the stomachs of children who regularly go without meals or subsist on mainly rice and beans. Community gardens also bring neighbors together where they work side by side to grow food for their families and each other.

Additional benefits of community and school gardens:

• Participants learn valuable skills they can pass along to others and to future generations.

• Classes provide up to date information on biodiversity, crop pairing, the use of organic fertilizer and more.

• Gardens beautify inner city neighborhoods as well as more isolated villages.

• Gardening engages the elderly as well as youth

• Community gardening promotes better physical and mental health.
