Gardens in a Box

Our summer community project finished with delivering the Gardens in a Box. City Heights refugee families received a variety of potted plants to grow in their apartments of in courtyard spaces. The purpose of the project is to expose young children (5 years or younger) to growing plants and eating healthy, organic food. Interns also conducted surveys of eligible residents prior to delivery, then delivered to their homes. They will mentor the families along the way on caring for their new plants as well.
