Change Agents

Garden Project

Why are we building a garden?

The Change Agents started the garden project to help our community overcome food insecurity and provide fresh produce for our families. Many members of our community, the Bronx, and our neighbors suffer from food insecurity, and they are not able to get the fresh produce and vegetables that they need for a healthy lifestyle. The Change Agents have partnered with Word Of Life International to build a garden in the yard outside of our school. WOL, Columbia University, and CHALK at New York Presbyterian gave Change Agents the opportunity to build a garden, and they're providing the materials to do so (eg: tarp, wire mesh, beds, soil, seedlings, etc...)

Thank you CHALK, Word of Life, and Columbia University

for making this garden possible!

What are we currently doing?

We started building the beds and aligning them on day one. Then on day 2, we reinforced the beds using mesh and a tarp to avoid rats and other potential rodents from eating our vegetables and spreading diseases. We are currently planting our vegetables, as well as figuring out a water system for the summer.
