Central Ohio s Growing to Green: Community gardens grow relationships through shared interests
Community gardening cultivates more than just crops in central Ohio.
Bill Dawson, Growing to Green program manager at the Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, 1777 E. Broad St. in Columbus, said community gardens are the melting pots of culture.
“Food is culture and culture is food,” he said. “We learn about each other at the garden gate. Leaning over the garden fence, there are people who show us different techniques or how to prepare food. People are doing good things in their neighborhood that turns them around. It gives seniors an opportunity to explain how to grow or even how to can.”
