BEAM "Grace Garden", Jacksonville Beach, FL

By
Real Estate Agent with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Florida Network Realty BK 3030920

This is a wonderful feel-good story about turning a vacant city owned lot into a produce producing garden.  

How many of us have seen or see vacant lots that are overgrown, unattractive, and unproductive?  This is a fabulous idea to turn currently unproductive land into productive land.

The families that are served by BEAM have always appreciated fresh produce, and this is a wonderful way to be able for BEAM to provide fresh produce.

Thanks Carol, I always like hearing about these community garden success stories, providing food and fun instead of wasting gas and time mowing grass.

Our small town now has a community garden - but I don't know if any of the produce is donated to the food bank, or if it is simply shared by the people who do the work.

I donate a field that I own to a local church every year, some of the members grow a garden each year, just like your story describes. I makes me feel good to share with our community.

I think it's wonderful, Carol. Our high school has done that in our area.
