Community Gardens
Many people are turning to gardening for various reasons. By growing their own organic produce, people may stretch their grocery budgets. Gardening has countless health benefits, from stress relief and better nutrition to enjoyment and recreation.
Community gardens provide:
- An opportunity to grow fresh produce and plants
- A connection to the outdoors and the environment
- A social connection with neighbors and the community
