The CCYC garden, initially a small plot of land, has blossomed into a vibrant space, providing fresh produce for the center’s residents and the community. The partnership with Trellis for Tomorrow has been instrumental in transforming the garden into a thriving ecosystem. The partnership began with a shared vision: to create a sustainable food system for the youth and the community.
In the fall, the garden focuses on root vegetables like carrots, beets, and turnips. The CCYC garden is a model of sustainable practices, incorporating composting, rainwater harvesting, and organic pest control. The CCYC garden is a community garden, fostering a sense of community and shared responsibility. Members contribute to the garden’s upkeep through volunteer work, sharing knowledge, and collaborating on projects. This collaborative spirit fosters a strong sense of belonging and shared purpose.
