DeKalb County Community Gardens empowers DeKalb County residents to choose healthy, sustainable foods through community education and participation. Funding supports a prairie restoration program at Walnut Grove Vocational Farm, a place providing agriculturally based training and employment for people with disabilities in an integrated supportive setting. In addition, funding supports the needed materials to build a bridge connecting prairie paths and cross streams. The path allows individuals with multiple physical limitations to enjoy the restorative therapy benefits of the prairie.
