 ct GROW (Growing Rotational crops On Well fields) is a collaborative initi

 strict. Located on 160 acres of the city’s wellfield\, this innovative pro
 ject uses no-till practices\, diverse cover crops\, and crop rotations to 
 improve soil health\, reduce erosion\, and safeguard the city’s drinking w
 ater. The garden space includes plots\, a berry orchard\, and pollinator h
 abitats—making it a hub for both environmental impact and community connec
 tion.\n\nProject GROW also allows community members to reserve and utilize
  select garden spaces to grow your own produce!\n\n🌾Why Cover Crops? Cover
  cropping is a powerful off-season strategy that:\n● Prevents soil erosion
  and compaction\n● Enhances water retention and infiltration\n● Suppresses
  weeds naturally\n● Captures residual nutrients like nitrogen\, reducing r
 unoff and contamination\n● Builds organic matter and microbial activity fo
 r healthier spring planting\n\nWhether you're a seasoned gardener\, just c
