2:06Now PlayingThe Metro Caring community garden, which opened for the season this weekend, is helping empower people who otherwise would not have the chance to grow their own food.
At the community garden on Humbolt Street in the Uptown neighborhood, the plots are allocated on a first-come-first-serve basis. However, 70% of the plots are specifically for people who may have experienced food insecurity before or come from marginalized communities.
"The barriers to access in urban gardening and urban farming are often so high that folks that have a lot going on in their lives are not able to afford it. They simply can’t access it. They can’t get involved either because of the cost or they don’t have the time," said Jess Harper, Manager of Urban Agriculture for Metro Caring.
