Greenville Community Gardens

Our Mission

Greenville Gardens’ core mission is to empower residents to be advocates for sustainable communities, allowing our members to transform Greenville into an environmentally friendly green space and sustainable community through their personal participation and leadership.
 

 

Everyone deserves the right to good food. Better. Fresher. Cheaper. Early in 2011, the seed for the Greenville Community Gardens project was envisioned and began to take root in the mind of its creator, Jeffrey B. Besecker.

LIFT - Levantate

LIFT - Levántate is a non-profit that provides wellness resources to low-income communities through workshops; events; and before, in and after school programs that encourage healthy life choices through nutrition, cooking, gardening, physical activity and lifeskills education, hands-on. We are an organization “without walls,” meaning that our programs are multi-lingual, multi-cultural, 100% free of fees for all participants, and, above all, are tailored to meet the varying needs of the community.

Rome Sustainable Food Project

The Rome Sustainable Food Project provides the community of the American Academy in Rome with a collaborative dining program that nourishes scholarship and conviviality. Guided by the indomitable spirit of the Roman table, it is our aim to construct a replicable model for sustainable dining in an institution. In 2006, Alice Waters envisioned the Rome Sustainable Food Project as an eco-gastronomic endeavor that would be a logical extension of the Academy’s values.
