Legacy Heritage's Sponsorship of The Newtown Community Garden
Featured on Alabama's own
Simply Southern Television Show
Beginning in 2020, Legacy Heritage purchased 12 lots from The Great State of Alabama to house The Newtown Community Garden.  Over the next two years, and counting, after launching a successful introduction to the city at our inaugural groundbreaking event and community cookout, the garden began bush hogging and clearing the nearly 1/3 acre with love and support from The City of Montgomery, community advocates, volunteers and local businesses.  Serving as a membership based community food supplement program providing economic, provisionary and wellness benefits that deliver basic knowledge of medical, therapeutic, and recreational gardening, The Newtown Community Garden is a salubrious intervention developed to improve the nutritional state of underserved communities suffering from food insecurity.  Plans include a main food garden distribution garden, pollinator garden, sensory garden and community compost program.

Nutritional Education

​​According to the CDC’s Social Vulnerability Index, residents who live within a twenty-five-mile radius of The Newtown Church of Christ, located 1709 N. Decatur St. Montgomery Alabama 36110, are identified as census tract three, Montgomery County, Alabama As vulnerability ranges score from 0 to 1, this tract is categorized as carrying a vulnerability range closer to one due to impacting socioeconomic, household composition, minority, and transportation factors.  The preceding community conditions require an intervention that addresses the well-being of the most vulnerable food insecure population of children, elderly, and disabled citizens by speaking to the behavior change assumptions of the mothers and caregivers that make the nutritional decisions of the household. Providing an opportunity for mothers to improve the health of their children, caregivers to offer a nutritional element to their care instructions, the ability to incorporate new eating practices supported by husbands and adult children, and the availability and affordability of nutritious food are all necessary aspirational factors of this targeted audience.  In response to the declining nutritional state of children, elderly and disabled citizens residing in census tract 3, Montgomery County, Alabama due to the disaster of The Coronavirus pandemic, Legacy Heritage proposes that by training and informing mothers and caregivers in nutritional benefits and healthy eating practices, in a primarily community garden environment, their past behaviors will change to improve the nutritional states of the children, elderly and disabled individuals in their care.
