Community Gardens

COMMUNITY GARDENS

Community Gardens may be the way of the future as we become more locally based and community oriented to support environmentally friendly living. Community Gardens have been successfully accomplished all over the world in all kinds of spaces, including small city spaces. They are an excellent way to bring community together, to create independent sustenance by enabling people to grow their own food, and they beautify the land. It is the vision of New Earth Cyber School to teach young adults how to project manage a community garden by creating a model in Ojai, CA. This is a future goal of the school.
