Today, there was a groundbreaking of a new urban garden located at 1045 Splitlog in Kansas City, Kan.

This urban garden is one of many in Kansas City, Kan. This particular garden was made possible by a grant from the Bloomberg Foundation to encourage healthier communities throughout the United States.

One of the main interests of Mayor Mark Holland is to provide a healthier community. This community garden is a prime example of what is going on in Kansas City, Kan. These programs provide a healthier community, using land that was formerly dormant.

This project will grow vegetables on land that at one time was dormant, and the vegetables will be given to needy families, creating a healthier lifestyle for the community.
