NewGreen is a shared, public space where people in the surrounding neighborhood share the work and harvest of maintaining a garden space for growing fruits, and vegetables, New green have several benefits to the people and the environment. NewGreen creates a sense of community among neighbors who are increasingly disconnected from each other. They create opportunities to provide healthy options in neighborhoods that are often food scarce. The people working in the Newgreen benefit from exercise and sunshine, as well as the therapeutic benefits of working in a garden. Weeding a garden is particularly effective in stress relief and provides mental health benefits to participants. Learning about the ways plants grow and the best conditions to help them thrive can provide the mental and intellectual stimulation of cultivating a new skill. Also, NewGreen can change the culture of a neighborhood by providing a shared interest and activity that brings people together.

One of the biggest benefits of Newgreen is in creating a culture of self-sustainability. In a low-income neighborhood, Newgreen may mean saving enough on groceries to provide for other household needs. People have become more and more separated from traditional foodways, and Newgreen can replace the kind of independent living we once knew when everyone had their own backyard garden.
