About
The Growing Hearts & Hands Legacy Garden (edible landscape & event space at 1548 Oak St.) has been awarded a 614 Beautiful grant from the Neighborhood Design Center & funded by the City of Columbus. Several projects will be underway to refresh the Legacy Garden as well as our original Growing Hearts & Hands Community Garden (produce garden at 1536 Oak St.). Our theme for the 2023 growing season revolves around "If We Rebuild It, They Will Come." Connect with us to enjoy the mind--body--spirit benefits of being outdoors & the satisfaction of completing some DIY projects together! Earth Day Bonus...
- Better Nutrition / Fresh Food Access--Grow Veggies & Save $$ / Environmental Health
- Future Fitness & Social Activities (Yoga, Dance, Chess, Arts/Crafts, Annual Events, More TBD)
- Friendships with Neighbors (DIY Projects, Spiritual Circles, Meditation, etc.)
Earth Day projects will be determined based on weather conditions. Choose the activity that you will enjoy the most--bring a friend or make a new one. Students age 10+ are welcome with adult supervision.
Forget dress for success & plan to play in the dirt. Don't forget to bring garden gloves, wear a hat, athletic/closed toe shoes, sunscreen, water bottle & hand tools or knee pads if you have them. It's going to be a great day!
