Why Choose Community Gardening?

Community gardening offers unique opportunities to instill knowledge and skills in others while also fostering a love for growing things and an appreciation for nature’s bounty. From schools to inner-city areas and food deserts, community gardens inspire, enlighten, enliven, educate, and build a stronger sense of belonging.

“Many hands make light work” – and community gardens are excellent ways to teach teamwork and interdependence. Explore the interchange between the elements – sunlight, soil and nutrients, water, and air – that affect the fruits and vegetables you grow, as well as their impact on nutrition and human health.

From a co-op garden to school gardens, these incredible oases of life provide something that too many are missing today: a direct connection with nature and where our food comes from.

However, growing a community garden is about more than education and building life skills. It’s about community building, learning about nutrition beyond convenience foods and pre-packaged options. It’s also about providing those in need within the community with access to delicious, nutritious foods, whether that’s an inner-city neighborhood, a student body, or another group.

At Mud Hub Greenhouses, we help you build community through hands-on education while helping improve access to wholesome food for all.

Making the Most of a Community Greenhouse

  • Improve students’ access to nutritious foods at home. Studies show that students who participate in community greenhouses tend to have better access to healthy foods at home as a result.
  • Grow food to supplement what’s available in food deserts and highly urbanized areas.
  • Teach vital skills that build a sense of independence and self-confidence in children, teens, and adults.
  • Community greenhouses have been shown to reduce stress and improve mental health in children and adults.
  • Instill a sense of wonder for nature and her bounty in all who participate in the community greenhouse project
  • Improve physical activity through gardening work in the community greenhouse, which benefits the health of adults and children.
  • Provide hands-on education about where food comes from and how nature operates in real-time.
  • Grow food that can be served right in your school’s cafeteria or sent home with students.
  • Improve students’ diet across the board. Studies show that in schools with gardens, students eat up to 3x more fruit and vegetables at lunch, even if the produce was not grown at the school.
