 Mulberry & Noble Street Neighborhood Garden: “Kept weeds and grass down, produced food for community”

 Monroe Street Community Garden: “The children and youth and adults of the neighborhood center programs took ownership of the garden and took care of it as well as picked the fruits of it.  The children and youth began to learn about gardening process from planting to harvest.”
