The purpose of Growing Together Community Garden (GTCG) is to connect underserved populations in the Bay Shore, NY area with the benefits of affordable, high-quality, sustainable and organic food as well as raise community awareness about the benefits of a health conscious lifestyle. GTCG will also provide the Bay Shore community and beyond with access to Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) by offering low-cost shares for purchase as well as provide training for other communities to start and manage their own community garden greenhouses. GTCG will be run largely by work-exchange members which will provide opportunities for disadvantaged youth and the unemployed as well as offer training at a discount or scholarship to those populations.
