A Word About Community Gardens:

“The United States is on the verge of a renaissance of community gardening and urban farming.”

“To grow your own food gives you a sort of power and it gives people dignity. You know exactly what you’re eating because you grew it. It’s good, it’s nourishing and you did this for yourself, your family and your community.”
Karen Washington, Garden of Hope, Bronx, NY

Quote from Food Security Learning Center (run by World Hunger Year, with collaboration from the Community Food Security Coalition and support from the Community Food Projects Competitive Grants Program of the Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture).
