The Problem

The Community Garden will encourage residents to participate in a collaborative group activity that can benefit the community at large. Since social isolation often occurs as seniors age, the garden will also encourage social interaction and engagement. It will also give residents a sense of purpose in actively contributing to the health and longevity of the residents.

Our Plan

We endeavor to plant various fruits and vegetables in 4 raised garden beds that will be accessible to the 92 residents of Decatur East Senior Apartments.
