Roots Community Garden
The Roots Community Garden provides community members an opportunity to develop leadership skills and educate themselves about growing food by collectively managing a garden, as well as providing some fresh food to POC’s clientele.
A steering committee composed of seasoned Roots gardeners together decides by-laws, educational, and capital needs for the garden. In turn, POC’s garden coordinators identify corporate and educational partners who can provide the resources necessary to provide for those needs.
Educational topics covered at the garden include:
- Composting
- Tending to Tomatoes
- Square Foot Gardening
