A Community That Gardens Together, Grows Together!
🌱 Purpose & Vision🌱
💚 Our Mission is to grow fresh, healthy produce together as a Communityand provide Affordable WellCare for all,while teaching and implementing sustainable gardening and agricultural practices.We believe that by working together, we can create a healthier and more sustainable future for everyone.
🌿 Our Vision is to create Sanctuary amid the chaos of this world with our #FriendsInTheGarden, growing together in Food, Friendship, and Faith ~
🌻 Our Why In a world full of scrolling screens, fake food, hectic schedules, and chaos around the globe, we have been disconnected from each other, the land and growing our food. Most children think the grocery store is where food is from and few have eaten real homegrown fruits and veggies.
🍟 We grab fast food while on the go that only slows us down, and sit in front of screens rather than putting our feet and hands in the ground. We are more connected with strangers across the world than our neighbors right next door.
🥰 We need Community now more than ever; built on realiable friendships and partners to get us through these uncertain times. To have a sense of place and somewhere that we can go to comfort our souls when the world seems too much. And to be able to sustain ourselves and each other.
✅ This Survey & Petition is designed to:
1️⃣ Gather support and input from local residents,
2️⃣ Demonstrate community interest to city officials, and
3️⃣ Invite partnership with Publix Super Markets to allow use or donation of a vacant lot for this community-driven project.
🌱 Together, we can turn an empty space into a living example of what’s possible when people, purpose, and local businesses work hand in hand.
🤎 This is a GrassRoots Movement ~ starting from the ground up!
👢 Boots on the ground. Hands in the dirt. Face to face. Heart to heart. 💚
