To support the well-being of neighbors in the Grant Street Community, we are developing a neighborhood community garden in the historic Hayti District of Durham. This space will offer residents a place to grow fresh food, gather with neighbors, and reconnect with the land that has sustained this community for generations. The garden will be located on a lot owned by Monument of Faith Church, generously offered for the purpose of creating a shared space for the neighborhood.

This garden will be more than plants in the ground.

It will be:

🌱 A place where elders can pass down knowledge
🌱 A place where children learn how food grows
🌱 A peaceful gathering space for neighbors
🌱 A reminder that beauty has always lived on Grant Street

The garden will include raised beds, seating areas, outdoor lights, a water source, tools, bird feeders, and native plants that attract pollinators and birds.

It will be a space where people can behold the beauty that has always existed here — a beauty that reflects the dignity, creativity, and resilience of the residents themselves.

With your support, we can bring this vision to life.
