Organization

Latter Day Saints Garden, a community garden outside of the Blacksburg property of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. This garden covers more than 4,000 square feet and had previously been divided among families for personal use in past years, but often experienced a great amount of empty space. In order to make more efficient use of this space, the organizer of this project decided to convert the garden into a service garden to provide fresh produce to those in need.
