The garden is also be a gathering place for our neighbors, whether for intimate family picnics or large social events, to foster relationships among members of our community. The garden is used to facilitate educational programs at local schools, providing an ideal setting to cover topics such as the food supply, nutrition, botany, insects, sustainability and others, as well as teaching life skills such as responsibility, and accountability. Census tracts are small, relatively permanent subdivisions of a county that are defined by the U. Census Bureau in conjunction with local authorities all across the country to define real neighborhoods that are bounded to contain areas with homogeneous population characteristics (including economic status, lifestyle, and living conditions). Census tracts usually have 4,000 persons, but can range between 1,500 and 8,000 persons.
