About the Program: 

Our goal for the garden is to build a community space where the school and the YMCA can teach students their families and neighborhood residents about the science and practice of growing food the relationship between food and nutrition and the importance of cooperation and sharing the fruits of their labors. The garden will provide a place where everyone can grow their own produce in an area where there is a dearth of home grown food.
