| Impact Report | South Roswell Community Garden Project The agent worked with a coalition of community leaders to coordinate the South Roswell Community Garden Project. The group, consisting of Teen Court of Roswell, Children Youth and Families Department Juvenile Justice Program personnel, Reach 2000, Chaves County Health Planning Council, the City of Roswell, Main Street Farmer’s and Gardener’s Market, Eastern New Mexico University – Roswell Division of Health personnel and the Chaves County Cooperative Extension Service, is organizing a community garden for youth who are involved in the Juvenile Justice Department through conviction of crimes and for other elementary school youth. Land has been donated to utilize for the community garden, while Reach 2000 has donated grant funds for the project. The agent applied for and secured funds to be utilized for this project through the New Mexico State 4-H Office. 4-H funds secured will be utilized for gardening equipment, gardening curriculum for the teen offenders, and school enrichment curriculum to be utilized in the elementary school which is across the street from the community garden. As of the end of September 2007, the garden has not been worked, but is still in the organization phase. School enrichment programs will be conducted in the elementary school in the spring 2008 with the garden being available for planting later in the spring when the weather allows. The garden will be used as the hands-on portion of the school enrichment programs. |
