Jardin La Roca

Project snapshot

Jardin La Roca community garden has served as an outdoor relaxing space where seniors can relax and feel safe in the space. When guests stop by the garden, they feel like they are not in the south Bronx, but in their homeland. We also provide an opportunity for the community of all ages to learn the importance of community and become closer to the environment by giving a deep understanding of how a community garden works from growing their own food and sharing it with the community, one of our biggest impact last year. was working on growing more food to share with the community, as well as supporting our community with winter clothing and toys for the youth. Our major success is having the organization support our work. tools and supplies to make these project work, without the basic supplies and donations we cannot grow. One quote from the community that made us want to keep addressing the community is safety. Is that they have had so many lost though gun violence in the community that they feel safe to come out to the garden. Our project will be a place to reflect loved ones thought special events and artwork, we are planning on building a reflection area and an art project Art can improve a person’s well-being by allowing them to express their ideas, emotions and perspectives through creative activities and a standing day to talk about what impact it has to our community This project is so much needed in your community This last year we had lots more deaths than the last five years, this neighborhood is suffering from lots of gun violence and drugs we are losing loved ones in our community. With these projects we plan on talking to our community the safety on the street and create a place of relaxed teaching community it’s okay to be outdoors to Our senior gardener will talk to our community and inform them about what our garden stand for. In Loving memory will build courage to each community member that at one point in life lost a love one they will always have a place to talk and remember lost one with a since of love, thought out the years to come
