Community Garden
Jubilee Home hosts a community garden with 550 sqare feet of raised beds, a permanent greenhouse, and nine chickens to provide fresh produce to the house and neighborhood.
Our community garden was started with the help of grants from the City of Durham’s Neighborhood Improvement Services and Duke’s Community Care Fund, and built with the help of community volunteers.
In our first season in 2020 we grew a quarter ton of produce including collard greens, beets, bok choy, cucumbers, butter beans, watermelons, a variety of tomatoes, peppers and gourds, as well as parsley, rosemary, mint, oregano, basil, lavender, and chives, and a variety of pollinator friendly flowers. The garden provides fresh produce to Jubilee Home and the surrounding community.
Community Engagement
Jubilee Home is located in a part of the historical Hayti neighborhood that suffers from the damages of urban renewal and disinvestment. Existing in a community with food and housing insecurity, Jubilee Home has become a hub for unhoused neighbors to receive mail, get access to harm reduction materials, and seek out support getting to rehab or stable housing.
