About the Program: 

A primary goal of the garden is to provide meaningful healthy engagement with community residents, something youth rarely experience in residential programs. Gardening is a means to helping volunteers and youth form mentoring relationships. In 2012 we plan to expand the program to include monthly community cooking classes led by volunteers to broaden community engagement. A new garden pavilion will be used as an educational and community gathering space beginning in the spring of 2012.
