Making use of the large green space next to St Clare Convent, Franciscan Ministries offers growing space for community gardeners.
The Garden is host to over 105 gardeners. Many are recent immigrants and refugees from Bhutan and Nepal.
The Garden not only provides individuals a place to cultivate vegetables and flowers, but also gives back to the community through donations of produce.
Since 2009, the Garden has donated over 14,400 pounds of produce locally.
