It is located in the Scotts Miracle-Gro Company Community Garden Campus and offers a variety of benefits to the community. Not only does it improve access to fresh food but it provides a space for neighbors to connect and reflect on nature’s beauty. Please refrain from picking or eating produce grown in the Community Garden. A Free Little Farmstand is available.
