CARROTS AND COMMUNITY

April 30, 2015October 30, 2017 Mattie Serna

There are many community gardens in the Phoenix area. They are all used to grow food but they each one is unique. Some provide recreational space for a specific population, while some are used to grow as much food as possible to help those who do not have to eat. The physical garden spaces vary in accordance to the goals of the garden. This can be seen in the photos of the community garden spaces.
