If you've answered yes to all of the above, you could become a GPGP client and receive a free garden! No gardening experience is necessary.
See our How It Works section for information on applying for a garden, as well as how the program works. We are currently accepting applications for 2009 - reserve your spot on the calendar now!

We establish gardens at each client's residence or community garden the first year, and return with seeds and seedlings the second year. We offer support through newsletters, telephone calls, and scheduled visits. See the details in our How It Works section.
We personalize each garden, taking into account dietary needs and preferences, as well as physical abilities. We offer over 40 different types of seed and seedlings!
Our gardens are also designed to conserve water and be maintained without synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides.
The Harvest Celebration held at the Strand Theatre in Clinton was a huge success, with nearly 250 attendees! Click here for more info & photos. A discussion guide for the film "Food, Inc." is now available as a free download; check our Resources page for more info. |
