Are Community Gardens Becoming Orange County’s Next Town Squares?
“Community gardens throughout Orange County are part of a broader push to create more open space and a sustainable environment for people in areas where such space is dwindling due to development.
Cities like Anaheim, Santa Ana, Huntington Beach and Fullerton have community gardens either run by the city, a church or a community nonprofit group – many are operated in park-poor areas.
Advocates say the gardens help serve as a type of town square for residents while also teaching people how to garden and eat healthier.” - Angela Hicks, Voice of OC
