A 300 sq. ft. communal garden is utilized for group gardening projects. Gardeners have participated in gardening workshops and garden walk tours  so they can expand their gardening knowledge. Grant funds were used  for site preparation, compost bins, tillers, wheelbarrows, garden tools and equipment, fruit trees and workshop expenses.
