The Randolph Street Community Gardens is a place for residents to grow their own food in North Champaign. The gardens are on the grounds of Stratton School, but are organized and maintained by Dawn Blackman of the Church of the Brethren. The gardens promote healthy eating and connecting people to the sources of food we eat. Engaging with children and youth is an integral part of the garden project. The UU church has supported the Randolph Street Community Gardens financially as well as through volunteer garden workers.
We could use your help! Watch for an opportunity to join one of our work teams, usually on a Saturday. If interested, you can also reach out to Jim Hannum.
