Community Gardens.

I love the idea of community gardens. Gardening has always been a hobby that I wish I could learn, but I have never had the opportunity. The knowledge of plants and vegetables and their growth processes is an incredibly valuable skill. Not only does a community garden help those in need economically, but I believe a community garden would also help them mentally. There is a sense of satisfaction that comes from eating something that you grew yourself! We learned there is a community garden right here in Macon at the Macon Outreach on Mulberry that is having a positive influence on our local community. Below is a picture of the community garden found in downtown Macon.
