Greyston Foundation a non-profit organization, which runs a community garden project  in Yonkers New York, the program is funded by the Community Development Agency.  The gardens are situated on public spaces where people from the community gather to grow and learn. The project provides the garden plots and support systems to heal and the beautify the urban landscape of the city and the internal landscape of ourselves.we create opportunities for children and adults to become more deeply involved and invested in their communities and their lives. The project began in 1995, at this point we are working with Schools, daycare's and others non-profit organizations.

I am running a prison garden program for female inmates in Pueblo Colorado.  Including gardens, greenhouses, landscaping and floral design.  I have a list of contacts around the country and world who are using gardens in prisons.  And I have been documenting the success rate of gardeners released from my facility.I would be happy to share info with you.
