Food Gardens Can Transform Communities

Community gardening improves people’s quality of life by providing a catalyst for neighborhood and community development, stimulating social interaction, encouraging self-reliance, beautifying neighborhoods, producing nutritious food, reducing family food budgets, conserving resources and creating opportunities for recreation, exercise, therapy and education.

GardenActivist.org is committed to bringing awareness to the ability of gardens to transform communities through social media, public seminars and by providing support for new gardeners with a focus on Community Gardens, Indoor Gardens and Tower Gardens.

With seven billion mouths to feed, human agriculture is exerting a tremendous toll on the planet. The challenges include water usage, pollution and the loss of habitat for the native ecosystem.

More people around the world see urban farming as a way to produce the food they need locally and cut down on the negative effects of transporting food long distances. Consumers are also to eat in season.

Rooftop and patio gardens are an example of growing food in an urban environment.
