BRONX, New York -
The International Rescue Committee's Melissa Winkler took this photo on Friday at a ribbon cutting ceremony for our New Roots Community Garden at Grand Concourse. The land, owned by the New York City Department of Transportation, will serve as an important place for resettled refugees and their neighbors in the Bronx to grow healthy food and build a sense of community.
Melissa says that she hopes the garden will help make fresh, healthy produce more available to the whole neighborhood.
