FOX 5's Bob Barnard visited the flagship community garden to see an urban garden in action. Workers say they hope the program can educate others and encourage others to grow their own food at home.
The USDA has People's Gardens in 17 urban hubs across the country including in Richmond, Virginia.
You can start the process to designate your community farm or garden a People's Garden online!
