Community Partners

This project would not be possible without the help of our two community partners: Alice's Garden and Walnut Way.

Alice's Garden

Alice's Garden is a non-profit organization that coordinates multi-generational projects to cultivate agriculture in an urban setting. The Garden's projects place importance on community events and involvement. Monthly farmer's markets are sponsored by Alice's Garden as well an extensive permanent garden that encourages reflection and contemplation. The Garden brings light to the possibilities of gardening and the power of nature in a community.

Walnut Way

Walnut Way works to renew the community through the implementation of various programs that aim to envelop community members in volunteerism, wellness, and involvement in the community. Walnut Way gives individuals the opportunity to immerse themselves in community building events and programs. Learn more about how to get involved in your community.
