The Garden Project at Prince Frederick

2022 Hawk Pitch: 
The Garden Project at Prince Frederick

Submitted By: Alan Hemming

 

Goal

To create a space where students, staff, and the community can come to learn and grow together. 

A panoramic view of a community garden featuring several greenhouse structures and raised garden beds on a sunny day.Garden beds made of metal with a gravel pathway, set in a green outdoor area near a greenhouse.

Something that is unique to the garden is the chance, through Farming 4 Hunger, to conduct team building exercises for groups of students, staff, and the community. An average team building experience takes approximately 3 hours and has shown, through research, to improve one another’s view of themselves, others, and the world.

The garden has already begun but we want to create a pathway to the garden that's accessible by everyone (see below). Having ADA access to the garden is very important and it allows it to truly be a community garden. 

 

Outcome

Concrete pathways were funded to make the garden ADA accessible and available to use by everyone:
