Our Vision
Our vision is to provide the necessary resources and information that allows under-resourced and communities of color to build friendships, promote health, well-being, and most importantly create sustainable food sources right from their own backyard.
Our goal is to build a community where all citizens are educated and empowered to grow a garden. Gardening quiets the mind, connects people with the earth, and grounds people within their local neighborhood. Studies have shown that gardening is proven to be significantly beneficial to your psychological health as well as mental and physical wellbeing. Working productively in the garden can increase serotonin levels in the brain, causing you to be happier throughout the day. Gardening can also improve your overall mood. It is our belief that with benefits like that, everyone should be gardening.
