| At Homegrown Gardens, you will find organically-grown
fruit trees, vegetables, and herbs—both common and more unusual
varieties. We believe that providing these plants will encourage more
gardeners to grow their own food, a simple act which can be deeply rewarding,
sustaining body and soul.
This is especially important to us because of who we are. Homegrown Gardens is a business
enterprise of the Homeless Garden Project. We provide non-profit job training and transitional
employment for people who face challenges obtaining employment and housing.
The Homegrown Gardens nursery, which is part of a larger, organically-certified farm, offers
opportunities for program trainees to learn horticultural and retail skills, and connect with other
social and educational services. Your support of our nursery in turn supports the broader mission
of the Homeless Garden Project.
We hope you will visit us at Homegrown Gardens, check out the stock, explore the farm, and
feel free to ask for help from our staff. We are, first and foremost, a place to cultivate community.
