Our Purpose

to establish a community garden in an empty lot serving at least 35 low-income families in the Southside of Providence, RI.

Summary of Projects

The garden received a grant in 2008 to build 15-20 raised garden beds to enable 35 families to grow fresh, pesticide and lead-free produce. The new community garden in the Early St. neighborhood will provide much-needed green space and will create access to fresh produce for the community.
