Summary
Currently in its fourth season, the Courthouse Community Garden’s evolution into a community fixture in Salem, New York, started more than four years ago from an idea tossed around for at least a couple of years before the seed of the idea took hold. The mission statement reads in part: The Courthouse Community Garden (CCG) includes an enthusiastic group of individuals that have come together... to plant a garden on a parcel of land adjacent to the Courthouse Community Center campus in Salem...[to] offer opportunities to teach youth of all ages to grow, process, and market food, developing intergenerational community relationships.
