Growing Gardens uses the experience of growing food in schools, backyards and correctional facilities to cultivate healthy and equitable communities. Growing Gardens is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, started in 1996 in Portland, Oregon. We currently run programming across the state of Oregon and are providing professional training and community organizing on a national level. Over the last 26 years we have developed specialized programs that utilize the powerful human experience of growing food to improve diets and health outcomes, bring science education to life, and create meaningful pathways to employment. We hope you will join us on the path to make transformative changes towards a more just and equitable society.
