The Ocean View Community Garden embodies the philosophy of Growing Food and Community, aiming to increase the
amount of locally grown food consumed by Ocean View residents and support Hawaii's broader goals of food security
and self-sufficiency. The project will create a community garden at the Ocean View Community Center, providing a
secure gathering space for residents to learn how to grow, harvest, and use fresh fruits and vegetables. Ocean View
Community Association, Inc. (OVCA), will donate the 1/2 acre, provide fencing, water, tools, seeds, plants, and trees,
security cameras and gate locks, access to OVCA's certified processing kitchen, and overall garden management.
Designed on a food forest concept, the garden will include nine 4' x 16' concrete raised beds interspersed with fruit
,and nut trees, edible vines, and demonstration beds of native and medicinal plants. Educational and social events will
be held under a large gazebo. Participants may work in the communal and composting areas in exchange for use of
their garden beds, and excess produce will be donated to the community food bank and the garden's free produce
stand. Committed community partners include the Ocean View Boys and Girls Club, Ka'D Martial Arts, Ocean View Girl
Scouts,'Aina Estates, and the Ocean View Senior Nutrition Program.

Public Purpose of Requested Funds
Per §2-138 of the Hawaii County Code 1983 (2016 Edition, as amended), the County may grant an award only if the
proposed program or service provides direct public benefits and fulfills a public purpose within the County.
46. According to §2-136, "public purpose" is defined as a benefit to, improvement of, or promotion of the
interests in the following areas. Please select all the public benefits to be derived from your County fund
request:
Educational concerns
Needs of the poor, youth, the aged, those with physical or emotional disabilities
Public health and welfare of the people and the environment
47. In 2,000 characters or less, describe the measurable outcomes you aim to achieve with these
funds.
The nine raised beds are projected to produce approximately 1,728 pounds of produce annually. Participants will
record the quantity of food harvested during each six-month growing season. Fruit and nuts grown in the communal
areas will also be tracked. Additionally, participants will log the hours they spend helping maintain the communal
garden. OVCA anticipates hosting 2-3 special events or educational classes at the garden each month, with
attendance tracked and recorded. These measures will provide quantifiable outcomes demonstrating the garden's
contributions to local food production, community engagement, and educational opportunities.
