The garden started in 2000 when community people started meeting and developing the proposal for the garden on a vacant lot. Today, the garden grows food and flowers, and provides a safe social environment for area students and families. The garden's goals are to promote environmental literacy through urban gardening, and to encourage community solutions to common problems, and thereby strengthening community ties and creating positive outlets. The garden is supported by community members and students from the Unidale Area Learning Center, who gain civic and community learning in addition to academic study related to urban environmental, economic, business, community, health and social issues.
