Our Purpose

to improve the health and beautify of the neighborhood. Wilson Community Garden is made up of a group of neighborhood residents who join together each year to grow food in their own community.

Summary of Projects

The Garden received a grant in 2011 to build a water conservation system to provide their garden with an affordable, sustainable, and consistent source of water for nourishing their food plants. The community gardeners will build a wood structure that can support a 250 gallon water barrel that will catch rain and provide gardeners with a reliable source of water.
