Community Gardens: How Two Friends are Fostering Positive Change, One Bloom at a Time

In the world of gardens, each bloom is a symbol of renewal and hope. For Judy, a resident at LMCH’s Commissioners Senior building, nurturing these green spaces embodies a deep-seated belief in the power of nature and community.

Judy - who is often joined by her friend and self-appointed “garden assistant”, Bernadette - has been cultivating gardens in the available outdoor spaces around the property since last year. However, what started as an independent project is now growing into something bigger, which is what prompted Judy to apply for an LMCH Community Development Grant.
