Project snapshot
Once Upon a Time Inc. is launching a community garden project to revitalize an underutilized space into a hub for education, sustainability, and engagement. Building on its 40-year legacy of arts-oriented childcare and community enrichment, OUAT is expanding its impact by creating a green space where residents can grow fresh produce, participate in gardening workshops, and foster stronger connections.The project includes site preparation, educational programs, youth engagement initiatives, and community events that promote environmental stewardship while addressing food insecurity. By offering hands-on learning experiences, the garden will serve as both a resource for fresh food and a gathering place for shared knowledge and collaboration.
