Around the Web: Gardens Helping People

I love hearing stories about communities that have built gardens to empower different parts of their populations.

Like this community garden focused on helping the Burmese refugee population. 

I also like hearing about gardens as an outlet for those who need one, as well as a way to build skills that can be marketable, such as landscaping.

Like this prison that is implementing a garden project in partnership with Planting Justice and the Insight Garden Program. 

Here’s an old video of the San Quentin prison garden program:
