Community Garden Trail: Connecting Residents to Nature and Nutrition
We’re excited to announce a new trail will connect Point Grand Apartments to our community greenspace, where residents can participate in raised bed gardening. This easy-access path allows
apartment dwellers to embrace nature and grow their own food just steps from home.
Trail Details:
Length: 500 ft.
Surface: will be packed with bark chips
Raised Bed Garden:
At the end of the trail, you’ll find our community garden featuring (currently 3) raised beds. These garden beds are perfect for growing a variety of vegetables, herbs, and flowers. Raised beds offer several advantages:
Easier access, especially for those with mobility issues
Better drainage and soil control
Fewer weeds and pests
