GZA bestows four roughly $2,500 grants each year to organizations whose specific programs would best benefit from the award. The Shareholder’ Duffy proposed Gardening the Community as a recipient of the GZA Shareholder’ Gardening the Community is a food justice organization engaged in youth development, urban agriculture and sustainable living to build healthy and equitable communities. In her grant application, Duffy said the Walnut Street project location is a 0.6 acre abandoned lot which “for decades has been an eyesore and served as an illegal dumping ground.” GTC purchased the site in July of 2014 with the vision of transforming it into a “vibrant, green space which would also help feed the neighborhood and provide service and leadership opportunities for local youth.” The GZA Shareholder’ Duffy, a resident of Holyoke, Massachusetts, has been with GZA for nearly eight years. Her areas of specialization include site design, planting design, low impact development and graphics. A graduate of the University of Massachusetts – Amherst with a Bachelor of Science in Landscape Architecture, Duffy is an avid gardener and started a community garden in her former apartment complex, a project now in its fourth year.
