Here's a short video about our garden-- https://youtu.be/KLk6K4dD6_c

The Fruitful Field has partnered with the City of Dania Beach Community Redevelopment Agency to bring our Grow City Youth Internship to Dania Beach. Grow City Youth is an after-school program that has been operating since 2015. We provide first-time job skills training to youth in the communities we serve.

Thanks to a generous grant from the Community Foundation of Broward, we will offer this opportunity at THE DANIA BEACH PATCH at 1201 W. Dania Beach Blvd., Dania Beach, FL 33004. The PATCH is an urban Market Garden located within easy access to I-95. We started as a small community-driven garden in 2011 and expect to grow more than 8,000 pounds of fresh, nutrient-dense produce in the coming season. 

You’ll also learn all about good nutrition, financial skills, and how to cook some insane vegetable food dishes.
