The Mission of Downtown Greens

Downtown Greens is an out-reach facility which stimulates personal and community growth by involving individuals in a community garden.

Education and empowerment of children is a special focus of the Garden. Tasks are geared to their abilities. The volunteer staff works to create a warm learning environment and to demonstrate to young visitors that their involvement is valuable.

In order to strengthen the bond between gardeners and the land we place a premium on manual, non-mechanized work. Chemicals are not used as solutions to crop problems. What is traditionally thought of as a problem is often accepted as a valuable part of the gardening process.

We intend for everyone involved to reap highly nutritious produces a a renewed connection with the natural world.

Downtown Greens is a magical place. Please come visit.
