We Envision:
~ A life-transforming neighborhood where children and their families have daily
access to an attractive, intentionally designed, garden space for playing, learning, and growing food together.
~ Neighbors who interact with each other, actively de-stress, and build
their own food network.
~ A venue for healthy child development/healing.
~ Local, permanent, educational resources that support both young and old family members, as well as educators and related nonprofits.
~ Biodiversity and local environmental stewardship as a beneficial part of daily living.
~ A vibrant community of diverse families enjoying a higher quality of city life.
