The City of Forrest City, in partnership with the Arkansas Cancer Coalition, recently hosted a Gardening Initiative Program!
Participants who attended one of the three meetings received a raised garden bed to help kickstart their gardening journey.
We love seeing the impact already—Mrs. Johnson is putting her garden beds to great use! Take a look at a few photos of her progress and how she’s bringing her garden to life.
This is what community growth looks like—healthy, hands-on, and thriving together
