“In the past there have been incidents of violence in the community which doesn’t show what the true sense of the community is,” he said. “It’s more just supporting residents in their own reclaiming back the community in a positive way.” Tabnor extended her condolences on behalf of the Jane and Finch community to all the families affected by gun violence. “We do not live in this community as neighbours. We all, no matter what nation we’re from, we are all family,” she said. “Unity is strength and when we come together and unify this community with the presence of elders, youth, adults, children in one place, enjoying themselves without any violence, that’s what you call … community strength.”

Hidden Benefits of Community Gardens

June 17, 2013 Christina Sarich, www.activistpost.com , ,
Community gardening reduces crime rates. Take one community in North Philadelphia that was once full of vacant, rundown buildings and plagued with crime, drugs, trash and derelict people as much as derelict infrastructure. A group of women decided to build the Las Parcelas Cummunity Garden and Kitchen. Not only did it improve crime rates, it caused a ripple effect and people started taking care of their own properties, looking out for one another and completely transformed their neighborhood. Community gardening provides organic food to some people who might not otherwise be able to afford it. At the community garden I volunteered at, I found out that entire immigrant families supplemented their food bills with organic produce from their ‘family’ plots, about 5-foot by 7-foot of soil, made to grow everything from spinach to onions, winter squash, kale, turnips, edible flowers, and so on.
