Community Garden
Community Gardens are to assist the public to learn how to grow food crops in community gardens.
"Gardens, scholars say, are the first sign of commitment to a community. When people plant corn they are saying, let's stay here. And by their connection to the land, they are connected to one another."
-  Anne Raver ​
