🌱 Food scraps ≠ Compost! 🌱
Your banana peels and coffee grounds aren’t compost yet—they’re food scraps! Compost is the rich, finished soil amendment that results after organic materials break down. Food scraps are what you drop off—compost is nature's process of completing the cycle.

Keepers House Edible Garden

Shy of calling it a community garden, it is still a garden that is for the benefit of the community. It will be a communal growing edible garden. The edible garden model is one where community residents can come in and volunteer in planning, seeding, planting, watering, weeding, and help make compost. Residents can help harvest and prep for the next season in the raised planter, beds, container pots that gets cared for together. All volunteers are welcomed.

Currently we are running the small pilot garden for 2019/2020 and it’s been a success. The garden is in the works for the next phase of expansion in the tiny space where more vegetables will be growing for 2021. The location is inside the garden area of The Keepers House.

Mosholu Preservation Corp and Friends of Mosholu Parkland, have a good collaboration with missions that compliment each other.

Mosholu Preservation Corporation (MPC) is a not-for-profit organization incorporated in the State of New York in 1981. The purposes of MPC are exclusively charitable and for the support of Montefiore Health System through improving some of the social determinants of health to create healthier communities. MPC has been a staple in the community for almost 40 years and has helped to combat community deterioration by preserving neighborhoods and building community. MPC does this through supporting small business to ensure they grow and thrive, acquiring and rehabbing quality sustainable affordable housing, beautifying the neighborhood and the production of educational local news. https://www.mpcbronx.org/about-mpc
