To sustain the Fred Jackson Community Garden, Iyalode Kinney of Communities United Restoring Mother Earth (CURME) worked with volunteers to build 4 additional garden beds, remove weeds, spread mulch, and plant 3 trees, 3 rose bushes, herbs, and vegetables. Harvest from the garden was given to volunteers as well as senior residents living in the neighborhood. Throughout the project period, about 50 volunteers - 23 of them new volunteers - helped out at the garden.
