The community garden at John Marble Recreation Center, located in Bradenton, Florida, is designed to serve the greater surrounding community and patrons of the recreation center.

This project addresses several challenges, including food insecurity, promoting healthy food options and activity, and the need for sustainable practices in a rapidly developing area.

By transforming a section of land into a thriving garden and another section adjoining it into a food forest, the initiative helps combat local food deserts, providing fresh produce, recreational and educational opportunities for residents.
