What does building a Culture of Health mean to Riverview Community Garden as an organization?

Building a culture of health starts from the ground up—by creating good soil to grow healthy plants and healthy people. Riverview Community garden aims to educate the community in organic practices, by engaging youth and offering access to fresh organic produce. Our mission is to give all citizens of Jersey City a beautiful place to reflect, meditate, relieve stress, and to build a relationship with nature.
