Why Should You Care?

Community gardens offer numerous benefits, including access to fresh and healthy produce, even in urban environments where green sources are scarce. These gardens promote sustainable practices, helping to reduce food miles and carbon footprints while fostering a deeper connection to nature, community, and creating healthier eating habits. These gardens also promote community building and trust, helping to prevent domestic violence before it has the opportunity to occur by fostering a safe and healthy community.
