The Fort Road Community Garden started as a way to both give gardening opportunities to neighbors and turn a vacant property next to the freeway into a community asset.
Over time, the Federation has taken on the role of coordinating two other garden sites in an effort to preserve urban community gardening in our neighborhood.
