<h2>Community Garden Initiative</h2><p>In Richmond County, volunteers have transformed vacant lots into thriving community gardens. These gardens provide fresh produce to local families. They also offer a space for neighbors to connect and work together.</p><p>Community members gather every weekend to plant, water, and harvest. This project not only improves access to healthy food but also fosters a sense of belonging.</p><p>Local schools have joined in too. Students learn about agriculture and the importance of nutrition through hands-on experiences.</p><figure id="figure-dbw5cudcq8lxxt1raj"><img id="dbw5cudcq8lxxt1raj" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1631195414013-85b70ff2c180?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwxfHxjb21tdW5pdHklMjBnYXJkZW58ZW58MHx8fHwxNzE5NTI1NDM3fDA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" alt="community garden" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" data-mce-src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1631195414013-85b70ff2c180?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwxfHxjb21tdW5pdHklMjBnYXJkZW58ZW58MHx8fHwxNzE5NTI1NDM3fDA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></figure><p>Experienced tutors work one-on-one with students.
