Cultivating Roots Community Garden

06/06/2026

My time with the community garden is coming to an end. Despite my want to help people in the community learn to grow crops, the turnout from the neighborhood has decreased over the years to no one and that's the primary purpose of the garden.

I don't know if the garden will continue after I'm gone. I'm putting it back in the hands of the housing authority. Hopefully something happens to bring life back into it. there is definitely fertile ground there, but i can't spend more than half a decade trying.

Thank you to everyone who has helped out over the years! I hope you can implement things you've learned to grow for yourself and families.

There won't be a garden party this week, because I'm helping out at a cleanup at the 9th avenue reservoir. Come help us clean the area around the reservoir garbage free.

yesterday's garden party went great. I distributed flyers and applications for people in the neighborhood. Hopefully we'll see some people sign up for a bed.

There was a new volunteer in the garden too They knew of the restorative properties of gardening & worked on weeding one of the beds. Thank you for your help Ryan!
