Jefferson Street Oasis: Springfield garden offers food, community
June 17, 2023
In a city like Springfield where fast-food restaurants are abundant and grocery stores are not walkable, resources such as the Jefferson Street Oasis help provide the community with accessible and affordable produce.
The community garden, nuzzled in a neighborhood not far from downtown Springfield at 1100 W. Jefferson St., has 2.5 acres of garden plots available to the community, providing access to fresh, healthy and chemical-free fruits and vegetables.
