About the Program: 

Construction began on the 6 000 sq ft garden in June 2011. It is now fenced and has raised beds water supply and a garden shed with tools. Our goal for this year is to plant dwarf fruit trees berries grapes and kiwis and to construct cinderblock compost bins & install 2 rain barrels to collect water from shed roof. These improvements will make ours fully functioning and many times more productive. More produce means more kids get to cook and eat more fresh foods.
