Guadalupe Gardens

Mission Statement

There are numerous challenges faced directly by our community a^?? high crime, homelessness, drug activity, lack of proper nutrition, lack of recreational areas and wholesome activities for young people overcoming language and cultural barriers due to ethnic diversity. Our programs address these issues by offering hands-on learning and productive activities in stable environment. Our Programs are a collaborative effort of various components of our community charged with encouraging skills leading to sustainability and self esteem. We are interested in building a sense of community and cooperative effort through shared garden projects in the healing atmosphere of open green spaces. We want to encourage children and adults of different ethnic backgrounds to learn how to work and live together and benefit from cooperative enterprises. We are also motivated by the opportunity for participants to develop their sensitivity, appreciation, and sense of responsibility to the earth.
