Our purpose is to...Build community within the Greater-Andover and Lawrence areas by creating an accessible, visible and educational permaculture demonstration site. We aim to reconnect children and adults to nature and raise awareness about enviromental issues including food security, food waste, stormwater management, and climate change. Our permaculture demonstration garden will inspire, educate and uplift our community by showcasing small scale solutions that are replicable by anyone in our surrounding communities.We will measure our success through the number of volunteers engaged (expecting 250-300 in this next growing season), number of media appearances, our engagement on social media, and other individuals, churches and organizations that contact us about creating a permaculture garden of their own.  We will be documenting our process throughout by taking pictures, filming a short documentary, and posting regularly on social media (Facebook, Twitter, website, and blogging.)
