Overview
This community garden sits between 36th Ave., Hamilton St., and Jefferson St. You can purchase a 15x15 piece of lot land for $30 or half of that lot for $15 and may grow all sorts of vegetation except for mint, blueberries, berry vines, and fruit trees (more information about regulations at the link posted below). The purpose of this garden is to bring the community together through an activity that can benefit the community as well as help strive for a more sustainable and greener community. Growing food locally helps minimize the necessity of transportation as those in the community can rely less on grocery stores and reduce emissions and pollution. It can also help reduce the production of food waste produced and helps to promote a healthier and happier lifestyle within the community.
