The Cause
Growing Gardens works from the ground up, to promote urban, home scale food gardening where the need is greatest. Every time GROWING GARDENS installs a garden, they help bring individuals together by creating a space for interaction and conversation. By focusing their efforts in low income, urban neighborhoods and schools, they build a community where the need is greatest.
Thank you Growing Gardens!

That is so wonderful. I help in my churches community garden that shows children how to grow stuff and harvest and then we supply St. Anne's Homeless Center with most of the bounty. Hundreds and hundreds of pounds of fresh veggies.
