Garden Project

This time of year, many home gardeners often have more produce than they know what to do with! Visit Garden Project’s Grow & Give program page to find a food pantry near you that will be eager to accept your extra fresh produce for neighbors in need.

  • access to land through a network of community gardens
  • how-to education
  • free seeds and plants
  • tool lending

Our goal is to provide access to fresh healthy food through gardening opportunities to all members of the community.
