Mariposa Community Health Center: An NCD Community Partner in the Community Garden Leaders Program
In 2012, NCD and MCHC teamed up to provide local residents with training every week through the Community Garden Leaders program. Participants attended 13 training sessions at Avalon Gardens, and then put their new knowledge and skills to work back in Nogales. Projects ranged from helping neighbors to install and improve gardens, to working with schools and churches, and communicating food production information through the media. The program connects local residents with local food producers to increase the consumption of fresh, healthy foods, promoting development of a local food system as something key to both health and economic development.
