COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

City of Jackson
Community/Urban Gardening Program 2010

The City has identified 80 “tillable” vacant lots that could be put into “agriculture” production.

Urban gardening is a wonderful opportunity for residents wishing to supplement their food supply with home-grown fruits and vegetables. The program is growing from a grass roots effort of citizens interested in establishing a community gardening program. Currently, the group does not have an official title,
but is being referred to as the Jackson Community Gardening Committee. The group meets the second Monday of each month at 224 W. Wilkins, (Make a Difference House) to discuss gardening issues.
