GrowMemphis’ mission is to help communities build gardens to improve access to locally grown food in their neighborhoods. By giving residents of low-income neighborhoods the training and resources that they need, GrowMemphis increases access to healthy affordable fruits and vegetables while creating a sustainable local food system. GrowMemphis currently has 44 community gardens in 11 Memphis zip codes – growing food in over 60,000 square feet of previously underutilized space.  Your donation will help us start new community gardens in the next 3 months.

With your help, GrowMemphis will provide the training, planning, support, and resources needed for gardens to thrive. With your donation, new gardens will receive:

·       First year garden tools, supplies, and infrastructure;

·       Ongoing assistance in garden planning, coordination, and installation;

·       Annual Community Gardening 101- Comprehensive training in urban agriculture and community building;

·       Monthly network and training opportunities with the GrowMemphis network of community gardeners;
