Albany, GA

AARP Community Challenge Grant Year: 2025

Project Category: Community Gardens

Description: 360 Albany set out to improve access to fresh food, outdoor activity and digital skills for older adults who lacked inclusive garden spaces and support using technology. The team installed raised beds, added ADA-compliant seating and hosted gardening workshops that taught older adults how to grow produce and stay active. Digital literacy sessions helped participants learn how to navigate health portals, manage online tasks and connect with family. One participant said the garden changed her days completely after planting for the first time in years and learning to video chat with her granddaughter. The improvements strengthened social ties, increased food access and created lasting opportunities for older adults to garden, learn and stay connected.
