Neo-TO's Community Garden Project transforms urban spaces into productive growing environments where residents learn sustainable agriculture while contributing to ongoing botanical research. These gardens demonstrate how urban farming can thrive alongside innovative acoustic technologies and community engagement.

Willow Park Community Gardens

As Neo-TO's greenest borough, Willow Park hosts our largest and most successful community garden complex. Spanning 12 whole acres near the Ancient Willow Tree, these gardens serve as the flagship location for the city's urban agriculture program.

The gardens feature specialized growing zones, acoustic enhancement systems developed by the Municipal Agriculture Research Division in partnership with GreenTech Innovations, and educational facilities where residents learn about sustainable farming practices. The unique acoustic environment created by the Ancient Willow Tree provides natural sound conditions that have been shown to dramatically improve plant growth rates and yields.
