ABCD is a process by which neighborhood regeneration can be achieved by locating all of the available local assets and connecting them with one another in ways that multiply their effect. Evidence suggests that real community development takes place only when local people are committed to investing themselves and their resources.

Connecting schools to the larger community Supporting exploration and learning in the garden “I can sit around really well, but it doesn’t seem that sitting around is enough. What I discovered is that I could have an impact on the world and enjoy working with and being around kids and other volunteers. The garden is such a great metaphor for the rest of the world.”
