The 9th Street community garden, as a part of the Green Thumb organization, provides a place for its members to plant and grow crops as well as a place to come and relax. Regeneration of public space by managing public areas produces positive benefits for the community. It can improve aesthetical aspects of the community and provide a sense of personal well-being, proactive relationships, pleasure in doing, and places value on the environment. By supporting community involvement through gardening, the garden contributes to the revitalization of the city and the community. The garden provides opportunities for people to introduce new day-to-day activities, getting together in one place for one cause to support each other, and showing sustainable ways to provide food.
