Welcome to The Great Garden
The Great Garden project was conceived in 2004 to provide an opportunity for students and community members to learn about healthier eating habits, and the skills and space to be able to grow their own food. In addition, a percentage of the garden's harvests will go to the local food banks, providing many community members with fresh locally grown produce.
The Great Garden is passionate about growing a strong healthy community. Together we can and will grow not only fresh locally grown food, but a healthy place for our family, friends and neighbors.
The Great Garden Needs You!
The Great Garden needs your support to be successful. If you are interested in making a donation, volunteering, or have an idea, contact Sarah Turner. (refer to contact information)
