Community gardens: Beautify neighborhoods, Provide opportunities for exercise, Increase access to fresh and healthy food, Reduce crime, Break down barriers, Teach people new skills and hobbies, and Build and strengthen relationships. Why use this toolkit? Community gardens use this tool kick because increasing the social impact of a garden will increase the garden’s sustainability.
