Mission and Goals
The Community First! Gardens Project supports neighborhoods in creating and maintaining community gardens in which residents can grow their own food.
CF!G Project goals are to help expand access to community gardens, thereby increasing self-sufficiency and local food security with nutritious, fresh produce; to provide opportunities for environmental education and stewardship of land; and to help create neighborhood gathering places that are welcoming to all, while fostering cooperative, community-building relationships within neighborhoods.
