We believe that a Community Garden is a first, easy step in adjusting
to a world in which easy, cheap food is not guaranteed, citizens are
disconnected from their neighbors, and our children are deprived of
valuable connections to the natural world which supports us. Advantages of a community garden include:
preserving town green space
beautifying and enriching the neighborhood
reducing stress and improving mental health of participants
encouraging exposure and connecting to nature
opportunity for positive social interaction and building community
opportunity to adopt and nurture surrounding wetlands
opportunity to grow and donate food to the local food bank
providing a safe learning space for children and adults
