Moscow Community Garden
The primary focus of the Sustainable Growing Program is the Moscow
Community Garden. The Garden is a place where both permanent and
temporary residents of the area can come together to enjoy a shared
love of gardening, a sense of community and a beautiful view of the
Palouse. The garden is available to anyone who would like to grow
flowers or food organically.
Moscow Community Garden Mission Statement
The Moscow Community Garden works to promote and support all aspects of
community food and ornamental gardening by encouraging the production of
nutritious food, reducing family food budgets, and demonstrating
sustainable gardening practices.
Recognizing that community gardening improves the quality of life for
people, the garden provides a catalyst for neighborhood and community
development through social interaction, encouragement of self-reliance,
provision of healthy “green space”, opportunities for therapy, exercise
and recreation. The community garden is a unique vehicle for creating
a connected and cohesive community. |
