Hershey Community Garden

Hershey Community Garden The page for the Hershey Community Garden on Penn State Milton Hershey Medical Center Campus Hershey Medical Center.

To offer a venue for the development of community networks and social support in Hershey, the various Hershey entities under the Hershey Impact group, have come together to sponsor the Hershey Community Garden (HCG), a project supported by The Foundation for Enhancing Communities, on the campus of the Penn State Milton S. This garden will serve multiple purposes, including offering the opportunity

for community residents to garden-whether they simply don’t have the space, or are new to gardening and don’t know where to start. A section will also be devoted for philanthropic purposes-the food cultivated in this section will be donated to those most in need in our community. Additional features of this garden include a section allocated for children and hands-on educational programs, a several highly-raised garden plots, designed for those residents unable to bend to ground level. We believe the HCG offers health and community benefits, including improved nutrition through better access to fresh vegetables and fruits, support of a local food movement, the opportunity for stress-relieving physical activity, a place for communication across cultures using food as a shared experience, and the promotion of the role of public health in improving the quality of life in Hershey.
