Tomorrow grows from the seeds we plant today.
the vision
Abl Garden will serve as a living classroom, where people of all ages can learn to grow their own food using sustainable practices while gaining a better understanding of how food systems impact health, the environment, and the community. Community members can volunteer to work in and care for the garden during monthly community work days. By providing access to gardening opportunities and hands-on learning, the garden encourages healthier lifestyles, food self-reliance, and deeper engagement with the local environment.
