The Summer of 2019 marked an important milestone for ECOTONE World and our St. Charles Street Urban Community Garden & Orchard. We celebrated 10 years of sowing seeds of community sustainability; growing fresh organic produce in a food desert, and teaching hundreds of youth to garden in our “outdoor classroom!” This past June we did “the usual”–teach students to garden, use lawn equipment, prune fruit trees, compost and repair fencing through our annual Summer Gardening Camp. What a sense of accomplishment we had at the sight of young people doing positive work outdoors and realizing that this is what ten years of dedication has brought to harvest—good fruit!
