Summary

The bill directs the Department of Community Affairs to identify unused state‑owned property that could become community gardens and obligates larger municipalities to open at least one garden by the end of 2027. Gardens must offer free plots to residents, be funded by local budgets or donations, and be coordinated with the state park system and nonprofits. The goal is to improve food access, health, and green space in urban areas.
