New People’s Garden Database Allows Public to Show Fruits of Labor

A new People’s Garden database, hosted by USDA, will give people across the nation an opportunity to register their gardens and showcase the fruits of their labor on an interactive map. The database will hold information on each garden, list who is involved, where it is located and allow photos to be posted. The People’s Garden initiative was launched in 2009 by Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack as a way for people to give back to their communities by planting fruits and vegetables that are donated to schools and food pantries.
