Community Garden Project

Community Garden Project A place where art and organics create environmental awareness. Family & Community Services' Arts Alive! Donations are encouraged to help sustain the garden.

program and Freedom House have collaborated on two community gardens, one in Kent and one in Ravenna. These gardens produce locally-grown fruits, flowers and vegetables. This organic produce is then distributed to those in need that may not otherwise have access to a Farmer's Market. We donate all produce to those in need, including individuals, families, shelters, food pantries and youth centers.

Garden patrons are also encouraged to bring a reusable bag, or a unique hand-made Arts Alive! "t-tote" will be provided to them for this purpose. We are always looking for volunteers, donors, speakers, etc. to help enhance our garden sites and youth programming. For more information, contact either Laura Wynn at (330) 297-6667 x325 or Matthew Slater at (330) 673-0705. Thank you for checking us out! GO GREEN! :)

We had a great time at the Haymaker Farmer's Market the past two Saturdays! Thanks to everyone for the donations, interest, and especially those who picked up volunteer applications! It's great to have the community's support. We'll be continuing our giveaways until September 15th in Kent and Ravenna- check our events and tell anyone you know who could benefit.

This week we had the first community giveaways at both garden sites! Despite our late season, we had plenty of donated bread and salad mix to give away, thanks to Ryan Everett and Scott Budzar who brought food from the Akron Canton Regional Foodbank! We'll continue the giveaways each week, so don't miss us! Produce from the gardens coming soon. And look out for the tomatoes- they're getting big and looking delicious!
