About Us
The mission of Moore to Love Garden is to create a safe haven for members of the community of all ages to learn about food cultivation, healthy eating, and neighborhood beautification; while fostering a sense of ownership and accountability. Our hope in having this community garden is that it will reduce the amount of violence in our neighborhood by bringing the elders and the youth together to teach and learn from one another. We are deeply committed to empowering our community with the necessary tools to increase nutritional health and positive community relations stemming from a shared effort.
The Benefits of a Community Garden
The Moore to Love Garden is a community initiative to bring experienced and novice gardeners together to provide the community with free locally produced fruits and vegetables.
Provides fresh, affordable produce
Builds a sense of community
Gets people active & improves physical health
Educates about gardening, nature & cooking
Get Involved in the Volunteer Program
Moore to Love Community Garden is inclusive to all because we plan to have a colorful sensory children's garden, elevated raised beds for seniors or wheelchair-bound individuals, a produce farm stand to give free food, and host seminars on healthy eating and food preparation.
Our space is open to all who wish to be involved by learning and sharing talents. We welcome everyone and we believe that the diversity of our knowledge will help our mission flourish. If you like playing in the dirt, if you want to learn how to grow food, if you are knowledgeable of healthy eating, if you like to share recipes, and if you are learning as you go, this is the place for you.
If you are not willing to commit to personal space, please consider volunteering in our garden and on workdays. We would love to have your support.
What We Do
The community garden is a beautification and wellness program. Our objective is to reconnect people with one another and the world around us by creating more green spaces in an urban setting. Many urban communities have limited access to fresh produce resulting in poor eating habits, malnutrition, and marginalized health issues. By having the garden we are helping the atmosphere, impeding adverse health outcomes, and providing horticultural opportunities for everyone.
