The Garden VISTA - Orlando
 
 
 
Green Works Orlando strives to make our community one of the most environmentally friendly, vibrant cities in our nation and we believe through education, we can create a greener, healthier tomorrow. The Garden is a youth environmental education initiative that strives to get students outdoors and develop connections with nature through the act of urban farming in which students are supported and empowered to live healthier lifestyles by increasing food access in their community and engaging in topics such as nutrition, sustainable practices and climate-readiness.
