COMMUNITY GARDENS: Unity in ACTION

It has been well documented that healthy, productive employees are a company’s greatest asset. On the other hand, unwell employees are a tremendous liability.  With an Corporate Community Garden, you'll:

• Help minimize controllable healthcare costs through attracting healthy employees and actively working to sustain their good health
  
• Position your company as a progressive employer-of-choice for health-conscious and environmentally-astute employees
  
• Create a unique, on-site venue for healthy, ongoing, informal interdepartmental collaboration
  
• ​Further your company's green initiative
  
• Foster loyalty from appreciative employees
• Make better use of your existing real estate.
• generate the positive media visibility that could be generated by offering this innovative, eco friendly employee perk.

The benefits of hosting a Community Garden at work go beyond giving employees access to healthy produce and providing a shared opportunity for recreation. Offering your employees an onsite garden is an innovative way to:

• Improve employee physical and mental health
  
• Give employees an opportunity to foster interdepartmental friendships in a comfortable environment​
  
• Help them learn something new
  
• Fight attention fatigue in intense work environments​
  
• Give employees the satisfaction that comes with nurturing a plant from seed to harvest
  
• Enrich the health of your employees' families by sending them home at the end of the day with nutrient-dense food

The food grown in the gardens can be distributed in the following places and ways:

• Fresh, organically-grown snacks can be served in your breakrooms
• Fresh, nutrition-dense ingredients can be served at employee events
• We can work with your Corporate Foodservice program to provide fresher offerings for lunches in your cafeteria.
• High-value organic produce can be sent home to employees' families.
• Fresh produce can be donated to a Food Pantry as part of your charitable giving program
