Racine's Community Garden: The Garden of Eatin'




	Our Mission We are a diverse team of community volunteers and gardeners working toward easing the pain of hunger for people in need. We teach gardening by using environmentally friendly, organic methods. We grow nutritious food and establish an enduring sense of purpose through the produce harvested from a community-oriented garden.
