Lawrence Community Shelter Garden, Lawrence, Kansas
The Lawrence Community Shelter Garden was established in 2013 with the support of shelter staff, community members and area gardeners. The goal of the garden is to produce food for use in the shelter kitchen and to help participants learn new gardening skills while being engaged in positive, healthy activities.
The garden shed serves as a central location for communication among gardeners. Updates left on a bulletin board inform gardeners of tasks that need to be completed. A children's raised garden bed has been installed to encourage children and families to participate in gardening projects.
