Urban Farming Procures A Grant from Home Depot for the Fountain Community Garden in Los Angeles, CA.

Urban Farming procures a Grant from Home Depot for the Fountain Community Garden in Los Angeles, CA. The Fountain Community Garden connects people to nature; educates people on where food comes from; and provides an opportunity for people, in urban spaces, to engage with their food system. This community garden provides an inclusive meeting area where people of all ages and cultural backgrounds can come together to share experiences and knowledge.

The grant will assist in rebuilding several garden boxes where several members of the community have dedicated raised bed gardens. The grant will also assist in removing dilapidated garden beds and replace the community garden area with fresh garden beds.  Additionally, the garden would host weekly movie nights for the community. The goal is to provide better access to healthy food and to promote social activities that could possibly reduce the crime rate. Plot Gardens sections are assigned to individual gardeners who are solely responsible for their plots. The project will support 80 garden plots which will impact approximately 240 people. 

Urban Farming has supported the Fountain Community Garden since 2012.
