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.
