What is the purpose of the Our City in a Garden website?
Each of the community organizations committed to the Our City in a Garden initiative has a history of success stories to share. Together, they demonstrate a wide range of community service spanning food research, production, preparation, and distribution as well as systems design, health and human services, ministry and education. This site features, in both text and photos, sections focused on the major components of the Our City in a Garden initiative. It provides a means to share with the community the scope, innovation, economic sustainability, environmental responsibility, educational activities and attention to safety which are essential to this comprehensive project. By sharing the stories from the smallest garden plots to 50-acre urban farms, from gleaning and Grow-a-Row programs through distribution systems and agencies it is hoped that Our City in a Garden will be a dynamic model to be replicated in any urban area.
