About the project:

Valley Partnership is hosting its 30th annual Community Project this year – The Society of St. Vincent de Paul’s Phoenix Urban Farm.  For the past few years, St. Vincent’s has been operating an urban farm near their campus in downtown Phoenix, on the Human Services Campus.  The one-acre farm grows fruits and vegetables that are used to feed families in their community kitchen and they are distributed in food boxes for families to prepare at home.  As the recipient of Valley Partnership’s 30th community project, St. Vincent’s believes that the enhancement of the Urban Farm will further their mission.  

 

Valley Partnership’s initial plans to improve the urban garden will include installing an irrigation system, electricity, adding shade to allow for an extended growing season, and planting.  Raised planter beds, an outdoor classroom, meditation area, site furniture, fruit-bearing trees, and signage for the farm have also been requested.
