The participants call themselves <br />the L02Max Community Garden and the program has continued to develop as a way for <br />citizens to learn more about producing food for their families. The garden occupies the <br />southeastern corner of the farm. The established infrastructure of the farm, including <br />the irrigation system, deer fence, office and restroom facilities help to make the garden a <br />successful program. Farm tools and equipment are also used to assist the community <br />gardeners. <br />Cabarrus Health Alliance and Cooperative Extension have worked with the L02Max <br />Community Garden, offering equipment, information and teaching sessions. <br />Community Gardeners have also created productive and informative relationships with <br />some of the farmers in training. <br />• A place for citizens to grow food for themselves <br />• Shared equipment and resources <br />• Community- focused approach to healthy food awareness <br />• Hands -on learning opportunities <br />• Lomax as a leader within the community garden <br />movement developing in Cabarrus County <br />• Equipment and resource hub for other gardens <br />G -6 Page 181 <br />
