Our mission is three-fold: First, to provide residents of the greater Concord area, particularly new Americans and those with limited incomes, the opportunity to grow organically-farmed food on land accessible by public transportation; Secondly, to increase social capital, cultural understanding, and empathy through the communal act of gardening, and finally, to increase educational opportunities. NHTI and the SCG Board will work together, when appropriate, to benefit the gardening community, complement the College mission, and demonstrate the benefits of environmentally sound, sustainable agriculture.
