The concept of growing a garden begins with a gardeners wish to plant and grow something.  The seeds of growing sustainable communities are planted in a similar vision.  Last year community members from the BCC's Homeless Hospitality House joined together to plant and grow a small community garden.  This year the BCC expanded that vision and its community garden.  The BCC Community Garden, now fully planted, is part of the BCC's effort to build and grow a sustainable community.  The BCC understands that community gardens improve the quality of people's lives as well as beautify neighborhoods, provide healthy foods, and encourage community social interactions.
Tim Gwyn, BCC Technology and Special Projects Coordinator has been working with a team of gardeners and community members to bring forth a harvest and into fruition, the goal of providing produce for some local families in need. Please continue to check the BCC website for more photos, articles and video footage of the garden project!
