Developing skills. Building relationships. Maintaining recovery.

These are among the many, many benefits that members describe when talking about the community garden at Rosie's Place, a women's shelter in Boston. And, of course, there's one more: growing and enjoying fresh produce!

Rosie's Place was founded in 1974 as the United States' first women's shelter. Its mission is to \"provide a safe and nurturing environment that helps poor and homeless women maintain their dignity, seek opportunity and find security in their lives.\"

One of the cornerstone programs offered at Rosie's Place is involvement with the community garden, which helps supply meals for shelter residents and also stocks the food pantry for anyone in need who might stop by.

Gardening is hands-on work that requires diligence and patience, but is also very gratifying, because you get to see, hold, and enjoy the fruits (and veggies!) of your labor.

\"Rosie's Place has become like my mother's house,\" says Lucy N., a member of the garden program, \"because it's a place that I come to and have food. They make my life better, and I'm happy.\"

Watch how the women at this sanctuary utilize the lessons learned there as a springboard to a happier, more fulfilling life.

This video was produced by Lucia Nazzaro, shot by Taylor Pelletier and edited by our intern, Cristina Ferreira.
