Guess what!? An organic community garden offers more than just delicious food... it creates positive ripple effects for both people and the planet!
👉 Here are some great reasons to have a shared garden in your community:
1. It provides space for people without room to garden at home
2. It brings the community together and boosts a sense of pride
3. It restores living soil and supports biodiversity, right in the heart of our communities
4. It helps us to slow down, reconnect with nature and care for something together
5. It deepens our awareness of where food comes from--and who grows it
6. It reduces food miles (+ our carbon footprint)
7. It helps reduce food waste through composting
8. It creates green spaces in urban areas, improving local temperatures and the quality of air, soil, and water
9. It strengthens food security, offering fresh, affordable, even free, organic food
& in case you missed it, we're supporting organic community gardens through our Gardens for Good grant program. If you're part of a non-profit, organically managed garden, we'd love to support what you're growing! 🍅 🥕 🥦
