New Community Garden Resource Program

Forsyth County has been awarded a grant from the Anne Hanes Willis Fund, the Charles Babcock, Jr. Discretionary Fund, and the Frank E. Llewellyn T.B. Fund administered by the Winston-Salem Foundation to support a community garden resource program.

The community garden resource program has the following goals:

  • Increase the number of community gardens in Forsyth County, with emphasis in limited resource communities with diverse populations
  • Increase the access to fresh fruits and vegetables for participants
  • Provide training and networking opportunities for garden leaders as a tool to sustain gardens
  • Increase the amount of fresh produce being donated to agencies accepting food
  • Increase the consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables by people participating in community gardens.
