Who We Help

Do you:
  · qualify for food stamps, fuel assistance, or WIC?
  · get sun in your yard?
  · live in our service area?
  · have an interest in growing your own vegetables?

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.

How We Help

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.
