Kiddies' Garden Expansion
Kiddies' Garden is expanding in 2023! WJP Urban Farms is dedicating 2 full lots for the sole purpose of educating Detroit's youth. Additionally, all crops grown on these lots will be donated through Kiddies' Kitchen. See below how you can help our expansion efforts.
The Kiddies' Lots
Our Call to Action
WJP Urban Farms seeks to further its social impact as it expands its presence within the Detroit community. In 2023 WJP Urban Farms is more than doubling its farmland with the addition of 12 community lots. Two of these lots, totaling 3,600 square feet, will be dedicated to educating and feeding Detroit's youth through our Kiddies' programs.
We are looking to purchase the equipment listed below to ensure a safe and hospitable environment for our children. Please consider donating today to help us better serve the children within our community.
Our Equipment Needs
Rock Picker Rental - $6,900
As described in our lot preparation process, our Kiddies' lots need to be rid of all rocks, roots, and debris. This ensures a contaminant free environment where both our children and their crops can thrive.
Fencing and Gate - $5,000
The safety of our children and their garden is our top priority. We strive to provide a secure environment where all community members feel welcome.
Water and Irrigation Installation - $10,000
The most important predictor of a productive harvest is a reliable water supply. Our Kiddies' Gardens will need to be equipped with a water collection and irrigation system.
