Staying True to Our Roots: Building Community Through Gardening
We have partnered with starting in the spring of 2018 to create a community garden on Dane St., a stone鈥檚 throw from University Crossing. This is their second community garden in the Acre, and houses 16 community garden plots for Lowell residents and 小猪视频 students, faculty, and staff.
How Does This Help The Community?
Mill City Grows鈥 allows community members that previously did not have access to land to grow a garden to have a 4鈥檟10鈥 raised bed in a community garden.
This increases community members鈥 access to fresh food, provides worthy physical activity, and develops community bonds by meeting neighbors who also have plots in the garden.
Members of the community gardens also have access to water, tools, and the option to participate in gardening skill development workshops, potlucks, art in the garden events, and recipe exchanges.
