Our goal is to create a self-sufficient, food independent community.
We are always looking for new community gardeners, members, and support. Donations, either monetary or supplies, are very much appreciated. Membership fee to GROW! is $15.00. Lease a 4x20 ft. garden space within our plot for $20.00 per year, or a double plot for $45.00. Please read the 'About Us' link on the left column and browse our site.
