USA: Community garden for people in need
Gardening activities to provide healthy food to housing insecure persons.
Gardening is not only good for one’s health but is also a means to have access to healthy and fresh products.
In the USA, near Chicago, motivated Naturex volunteers plant, maintain and harvest various types of vegetables on a garden directly located at their site’s entrance. The vegetables are then donated on a weekly basis to a local welfare association which supports homeless and housing-insecure persons.
Thanks to the donated products, the association’s chef creates a variety of healthy recipes such as rice & beans, kale & chicken or Japanese cucumber salad.
