May 30 | P.R. Harris Urban Food Hub Build Day - Free event!

The College of Agriculture, Urban Sustainability and Environmental Sciences (CAUSES) at the University of the District of Columbia (UDC) is excited to host the P.R. Harris Urban Food Hub Build Day. Join us for a day of volunteering as we work on building raised garden beds and filling them with soil for the Ward 8 community garden. We will be offering a hands-on workshop on how to build a raised bed.

The P.R. Harris Food Hub is located next to the P.R. Harris Community College site. The food hub is built on an old tennis court with grants from the Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE) and Anacostia Economic Development Cooperation (AEDC). The food hub has two greenhouses that house hydroponic and aquaponic systems. This location offers garden beds that are cultivated and managed by a Community Garden Committee. The food hub is located next to Oxon Run Park, which has a playground and picnic space.
