WHAT IS JUST GROW

Just Grow is our community garden initiative designed to empower individuals to grow their own food while fostering a space for learning and personal growth. Each year, we offer free garden plots at our location, 1000 E. 11th Street, to those who lack access to gardening space and are committed to maintaining an active garden. The produce harvested provides fresh, healthy food to our gardeners and their families, with any excess donated to the pantry for our clients. In addition to the garden plots, we offer classes and activities focused on growing your own food, as well as exploring native edible plants and herbs, all led by our knowledgeable staff and professional gardeners.

WHO IS JUST GROW FOR

Just Grow is open to anyone who wants to grow their own food but lacks the proper space. We operate under a "use it or lose it" policy for garden plots to ensure that the spaces are used by individuals who are committed to active gardening. These garden plots also support our pantry's mission to provide fresh food to our clients. All of our Just Grow classes and activities are open to everyone, and we encourage participation from all ages. Children are welcome when accompanied by a supervising adult!

HOW DO I PARTICIPATE?

To participate in Just Grow, interested individuals must read and agree to our Gardening Space Policy, which outlines the guidelines for using the garden plots. To secure a plot, you'll need to fill out an application form. The application for 2025 will open in March. If you'd like to receive a notification when the application opens, please submit a request via the button below. Spaces are limited, and priority is given to those who demonstrate a commitment to maintaining an active garden. We look forward to welcoming you to our community garden and supporting your gardening journey!
