Community garden project acquires new site
Jubilee Farm to provide food for hungry, nutritional education
1220jubilee3
An empty lot at the intersection of Davis and Pine Streets is the site of the community garden Jubilee Farm.
A new site has been identified for Jubilee Farm, a community garden project of the Hall Green Alliance that aims to provide food to the hungry and nutritional education to local residents. Initial plans were to locate the garden on a half-acre vacant lot at the corner of Grove and Davis streets in the industrial part of Gainesville. But that property is a designated brownfield site, and environmental pollutants from former commercial and industrial uses appear to have contaminated the land and made it incompatible for a garden.
