GARDEN PLOT

Urban farming offers an opportunity to produce clean, local food, promote sustainable development and community spirit, and add physical activity and mental well-being to everyday life. Contact with beneficial soil microbes has been shown to have positive effects on human health, such as improving the immune system. 

Gardens and cultivation areas are also an excellent way to support biodiversity. Farming practices that respect nature's diversity help protect pollinators and soil organisms. Properly managed soil can sequester carbon from the atmosphere and improve rainwater absorption.
