The People’s Garden is a community-based initiative to increase front-yard public gardens as one means of urban food sovereignty. Local food sovereignty is one strategy to address climate change through social and environmental justice. Located in downtown Merced, the People’s Garden serves as a model, training facility, and resource (e.g., materials, tools) for community gardening. All produce is shared freely. Fresh produce was shared with those in need during the COVID-19 pandemic.
