Friends of McDonough Community Garden

Enrichmond welcomes the Friends of McDonough Community Garden as a new Partner.

The Friends of McDonough Community Garden is developing the 3300 block of McDonough Street into a community garden. There are tons of benefits for this to the community including a beautiful edible landscape perfect for horticultural therapy, a community space for social gatherings and cultural activities and youth programs teaching children and teens in the community social entrepreneurship, biology, nutrition and ecology. In addition, the space has a great potential for bridge building in the community allowing for intergenerational and cross cultural dialogues. The site is also located in a food desert and will allow for easier access to fresh fruit and vegetables to the community that surrounds it.
