Community gardens promote healthy communities and provide food security for many low income persons. They are also the best way to get in touch with the earth in its purest form! As soon as the Europeans came to the America's in the 1500 to 1600's, we lost our relationship with the Mother Earth. We do not think of the earth as a life form or an entity anymore. The thought of living in harmony with the earth does not even cross most American's minds. Humans feel that we have control or superiority over the earth, when it is really much greater than humans physically and spiritually.
There is a community garden currently cultivating at CCBC Essex! This is a wonderful opportunity to become involved in a fundamental and necessary form of giving. All of the food produced in this garden will be donated to a homeless shelter less than a half a mile from the campus. This garden is going to be a huge help to the community! Putting your hard work, determination, and love into this garden will yield an enormous amount of benefits in your life and the life of people who are far worse of than yourself.
This garden is just beginning so if anyone wants to volunteer there time and there hands or if anyone has any words of wisdom, donations, references, or contributions of any kind please contact:
