COMMUNITY GARDEN
We are excited to announce plans for a Community Garden Program, an initiative designed to empower our residents through sustainable farming, community involvement, and valuable skill-building. This program will provide fresh, healthy food for the village while also offering residents the opportunity to gain hands-on experience and contribute to a self-sustaining community. With your support, we can bring this garden to life and ensure its long-term success.
Program Overview
Our garden will be managed by residents of Springboard Village, who will receive a stipend and a program fee waiver to maintain the garden, oversee planting, and harvest fresh produce. This opportunity provides not only a source of practical experience but also a pathway to self-sufficiency and skill-building. Participants will learn the fundamentals of urban gardening, composting, and sustainable farming.
The fresh, nutritious food grown in the garden will be used in the daily meal provided to Springboard Village participants, helping to ensure access to healthy food. Additionally, we plan to offer workshops on nutrition, cooking, and gardening to equip residents with the knowledge to make the most of the produce they grow.
Our Goals
The Springboard Village Garden will:
Provide fresh, locally grown produce that will be incorporated into the village's daily nutritious meals.
Offer stipends to garden managers, helping them build valuable skills and participate actively in the community.
Foster a sense of community by encouraging residents to work together to cultivate a space that benefits everyone.
Create a sustainable food system using organic practices and composting.
