Community Garden
MOCAT partnered with the In-Phase Clinic on Hurd Street to create an edible community garden. The project will be continuing and relocating in 2023.
Goals of the Project
-
Renew our connection to nature.
-
Produce fresh, wholesome, nutritious food to share with community members.
-
Encourage healthy outdoor activity, positive social interaction, and the use of open space.
-
Healthy eating, lower food costs.
-
Community resilience if faced with food shortages or a large-scale emergency.
The activities related to the creation of the garden build a sense of community, ease social isolation, provide opportunities for community celebrations (seed exchange, planting parties, harvest), and create a space for art-making and sharing and developing relationships.
Participants working on the communal garden include peers that share in responsibilities for planting, weeding, watering, and general maintenance of the garden.
