The Urban Agriculture Program focus is to create a healthy environment by promoting urban greening and environmentally friendly horticultural practices. The community gardening segment, "Farming the City" provides technical and material assistance and support to groups of city residents who want to reclaim vacant lots and turn them into productive garden space.
