New Holly Youth & Family P-Patch

A P-Patch fence around the 390' exterior perimeter is needed for the safety and security of community participants.

A problem unique to our large immigrant gardening population is that stolen produce significantly compounds common food insecurity. This is because these gardeners grow produce with which they are familiar and use a lot, but which is hard to find in local grocery stores.
