The Town is working with the Cape Charles Rotary Club and the New Roots Youth Garden Committee on the New Roots Youth Garden Project at the corner of Fig Street and Randolph Avenue.

The New Roots Youth Garden initiative is committed to providing experiences that help local youth develop:

• Personal Growth earned through hard work, patience and the rewards of gardening.
• Environmental Awareness gained by exploring the inter-connected relationships among living things like plants, worms and bees and non-living things like soil and water.

• Social Skills & Awareness cultivated through teamwork, service-learing, mentoring and leadership opportunities.
