From our Newsletter!

If you've been on our campus, you've probably been amazed at the size of our operation.

If you haven't, we can paint a picture: we have two large greenhouses that grow produce year-round, and two high-tunnels that provide additional space to grow veggies in the ground when it's cold outside. Unfortunately, time and gravity always win, so our greenhouses are in need of a good facelift and we need your help to get there!

We have set a fundraising goal of $8,900 to replace the plastic in our greenhouses.
Help us continue growing year-round by making a contribution today!

The Big Garden is actively working to alleviate hunger. Our programs help teach people of all ages to grow, cook, and preserve garden-fresh produce.

With an outstanding staff and board, more than 100 partnering community organizations, and thousands of children and adults who participate each year, we are growing justice by increasing access to fresh produce, building skills, and creating stronger communities through gardening.
