The Patricia Davis Community Garden began as a CRA initiative to bring urban gardening to the Northwest Pompano Beach CRA district. Previously, there were three vacant lots totaling one acre in the Blanche Ely neighborhood. The Garden focuses on teaching the local community how to grow seasonal organic produce, which is shared throughout the local community. In collaboration with Fruitful Field Inc., the Community Garden has facilitated apprenticeships, local community programs, and urban gardening education. As a result, this creative partnership has become an educational resource for local gardeners and students while also creating a sense of community pride and neighborly spirit.
The purpose of the Community Garden is to improve people’s quality of life by providing a catalyst for neighborhood and community development, stimulating social interaction, encouraging self-reliance, beautifying neighborhoods, producing organic nutritious foods, reducing family food budgets, conserving resources and creating opportunities for recreation, exercise, healthy eating, workshops, therapy and education.
