City of Kent Government issued the following announcement on Sept. 9.
“It was just a giant empty parking lot. It's the parking lot I learned how to ride my bike in. That's how long this has been here,” Kent Mayor Dana Ralph said at the unveiling of the 2020 Climate Action Plan last month. She added that now, the garden has taught her about "culturally responsive food."
“...I want to make sure that every resident in my community has a food supply that makes sense to them, that they're used to cooking, that helps them feel like this is home.”
The mayor says this project has brought people of all ages and different cultures together. She hopes other communities all around the region will look to it as a model for climate action.
