Community Garden

Community Garden Program

Helping community members and organizations create thriving community gardens

Through the program, community members learn about effective gardening techniques while they help tend the garden and grow nutritious fruits and vegetables that are distributed to those in need. Each week, volunteers are invited to come to help plant and harvest fruits and vegetables, pull weeds and learn new gardening skills.
