Community Gardens

A community garden is a piece of land collectively gardened by a group of individuals that can take on varying shapes and sizes. Community gardens act as a location to bring people together and to build community. They encourage people to work together, communicate and create something beautiful.

Some benefits community gardens offer include:

• Fresh and affordable vegetables and fruits
• Physical activity
• Stress relief
• New Skills
• Community building
• New friends and connections
• Community pride
• Positive spaces
