| Tricycle Gardens - Community Gardening/Urban Farming--Family Friendly! |
Agency: Tricycle Gardens
Description:
Tricycle Gardens cultivates a greener Richmond by establishing community gardens
and urban farms by providing education and encouraging sustainability. Tricycle Gardens’ goal is to provide garden
building design, resources and support, while helping neighborhood volunteers
who build and manage community gardens with student volunteers from VCU. We see
the evolving ecology of our city as an opportunity for residents to come
together through the simple act of gardening.
