Gardening on blighted properties to beautify our community and grow local food.

Why we are doing this project
Over the holiday weekend a car with DC plates pulled up to one corner of the empty lot with our garden and started dumping buckets of construction waste right on the ground. When challenged the man said: "Who cares? This lot is full of crap already."
We got tired of blighted properties maintained by our city with our tax dollars while landowners completely ignored the property and the community. Food Not Blight is a project of the Mount Rainier Community Gardens Association and our first plot is at the corner of 33rd and Perry St. If you want a plot in this garden, or you want advice on starting your own community garden, please contact us.
