Description
This community garden in Kenwood Park operates as a permaculture food forest garden in order to teach and demonstrate permaculture principles. It is a cooperative community space growing food in an environmentally sustainable manner. The garden consists primarily (but not exclusively) of native and perennial plants and relies on minimal external inputs. The space also functions as a wildlife refuge for bees, birds, and other insects and as a pollinator garden.
