Community garden brings homegrown organic vegetables to DC’s Ward 7

In D.C.’s Ward 7, where many residents struggle with food insecurity, lies a community garden which is bringing locally-grown, organic vegetables to nearby residents. The garden is run by the Nicholson Project, a nonprofit arts organization that gives visiting artists a D.C. residency in which they can stay and create new works.

Allison Nance, managing director of the Nicholson Project, said that in 2019, in the row home’s backyard, a garden was started with the goal of using what was grown for programming purposes.
