Over 150 Youth Annually

SCLT's Summer Children's Garden Program is a chance for young people from local community organizations to spend time at City Farm during the most vibrant and lush part of the growing season. From June to August groups of young people join us at City Farm to cultivate and maintain the enchanted Children's Garden. Young people have the opportunity to explore, observe, and participate in growing vegetables and preserving green space in South Providence.
