SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - What once was a dirt lot in Mountain View is now a healthy growing garden, and it's feeding community spirit as well as mouths.
It's called Ocean View Growing Grounds, and it's part of UC San Diego's Global Food Intiative .
On Thursday, UC President Janet Napolitano toured the facility.
The research project establishes community gardens and helps residents understand the importance of growing nutritious fruits and vegetables.
