Community gardens create sacred spaces within a community
How A Community Created A Garden From Sadness : NPR Mourners left flowers and plants after the 2011 Tucson shooting rampage that killed six people and wounded 13. Instead of sending the shrines to a landfill after they were taken down, volunteers sorted through everything, replanted what they could and composted the rest.
Feed Fayetteville is facilitating a Community Food Survey to help us get a snapshot of local food production and needs.
Please take a second to respond to this short survey, as these results will help us prioritize areas of education need while also helping City leaders see potential areas for urban agriculture ordinance/policy revision.
Please then share it with all those who live in Fayetteville! Thank you.

Hooray for community gardens and local food!
