Through our Green Initiative Fund Grant, we were able to create two Bear Pantry Plots at the UVA Community Garden.

The Bear Pantry plots at the UVA Community Garden is a  dedicated space for growing seasonal produce to help address food insecurity at the Village. 

This collaborative project with Green Initiative Fund aims to:

• Provide diverse and nutritious food options to the community, build community through growing food and provide educational opportunities.
• Bring Back the Insects to UVA Community Garden
• Establish habitats in the UVA community garden that will attract beneficial insects year around
• Support both the gardeners and environment, through planting a mix of California native plants.
