Project snapshot

The 23rd Street Community Garden will implement “Watch Us Grow” to document garden activities and expand healthy food access. The project builds accessible raised beds, installs a community compost station, and delivers monthly workshops on urban farming, cooking, and stewardship. Partnerships with schools and food pantries enable youth-led planting and harvest giveaways. By cultivating food, skills, and leadership, it strengthens food security, sustainability, and intergenerational community cohesion.
