Riverside City College’s Community Garden was awarded $10,000 by Seeds of Change Grant program and plans to meet health codes so that they can provide fresh, affordable, organic produce to the school’s cafeteria and free produce to students in need.
Other uses for the grant would be used to increase water efficiency by finishing installation of high quality drip irrigation system. As well as help fund a shed, replacement tools, a water meter, produce scale and field guides to collect and analyze data in a variety of classes and help further education in the outdoor laboratory.
