Common Earth Gardens celebrates the different ways that people cultivate the earth. Under the auspices of Catholic Charities of Louisville, the agency provides land for immigrants to grow vegetables native to their homelands not only for their families, but to sell at local farmer's markets.
Common Earth Gardens fosters an environment where farmers can share knowledge from their diverse traditions and connect with resources, as they adapt to Kentucky’s ecology and the local food economy.
