Collaborating with The International Rescue Committee/New Roots, Building Goodness, and Bike & Build, we completed the 5th Street Community Garden Project! This garden not only supports food security but also offers a haven for local refugees to cultivate crops from their native lands, enabling them to preserve a feeling of home and cultural attachment. We are grateful to be a part of such a positive initiative in our community.
“New Roots Charlottesville works with refugees and New Americans in support of their health, community connections and household economics through agriculture and food initiatives. Over the past 10 years, New Roots has become the largest non-profit-managed community gardening network in the Charlottesville area. ”
