Lawton Park Community Garden

​

Welcome Lawton Park Community Gardeners!

 

We offer resources to cultivate a healthy, successful and abundant community garden for both new gardeners and those with experience. 

​

Exciting benefits to growing your own fruits and vegetables:

• More Fresh and Healthy Food! Fruits and vegetables contain fiber, vitamins, and minerals and can reduce the risk of stroke, diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and some types of cancer

• Eating Organic! More control over avoiding chemicals used for growing food conventioning

• Improved Quality of Life! More exercise and a chance to connect with Mother Nature

• More Sustainable! Less need to transport food from distant farms

• Saving Money! Lower fruit and vegetable bills at the grocery store
