Pleasant Street Community garden has the goal of offering garden space and resources, including peer to peer education, for people of all means in Greenfield. We work to enhance food security, reduce carbon emmissions, improve soil quality and inspire neighborhood cohesion.Three of our plots are communally tended: herbs, berries and vegetables. These products are shared at a designated area at the garden, which itself is located at the John Zon Community Center, a highly visible and well-trafficked location in central Greenfield.For the past two years, PSCG has hosted and tended an EggShare, where folks learn how to care for birds, work together to share labor and take turns harvesting a day's production of hyper-local organic eggs. The community garden and the EggShare both work to return nutrients to the soil, thereby reducing garden waste, sequestering carbon, and improving the soil with hyper-local inputs. The grasses we plant for the hens (as we rotate their pastures) additionally contribute to soil health.It was not our original charter but we find that both projects (veggies and eggs) have provided a healthy educational, safe social activity for families struggling with childcare/work responsibilities. Several gardeners and EggSharers are families with children and the activities at PSCG are a regular part of the structure of their days.
