When most folks think of a community garden, they usually think of a place where everybody has their own individual small plot. We take a different approach. We have large gardens that we all share together. We all work together to share the tending, and we share the harvest. It is amazing how much food we grow when we all work together! Many of our members have never gardened before, while others have decades of experience. Everyone is welcome. There is no cost to join. All expenses are paid through our fundraising efforts. This is great way to share knowledge and make new connections. We look forward to seeing you in the garden!

On May 2, 2024, The Tomato Seed Savers Club was officially adopted as the newest Growing Together Community Garden location by our Board of Directors. This brings our total up to 10 garden locations in Fargo!

On March 29, 2024, our Co-Founder Jack Wood appeared on the Growing Together Podcast (no relation) with Don Kinzler and John Lamb. He gave a great overview of our gardens. Click here to listen to the podcast.

Good food, great people

We've been growing food together since 2005. Our mission is to connect people in Fargo-Moorhead with affordable produce and a good community. Each of our members works for their share of the garden and takes home plenty of food for their family. And there's always extra for the food pantry!

Each of our gardens meets at a specific time once per week for 2 hours. Members choose a garden to attend and everyone comes at the same time to work together. Once you work 20 hours, you are entitled to a full share of our harvest each time you join us in the garden!

the new american perspective

We have a heart for New American immigrants. At least 5% of Fargo's population are refugees. Many have fled war, violence, and insecurity in search of hope in the United States. Unfortunately, limited English skills often makes it hard for them to communicate or find jobs to support their families.

Growing Together first started to help immigrants feed their families and connect them with the people, resources, and language learning skills needed to join our community. Today, we have a healthy balance of New and "Not-New" American members. And everyone takes home a share!
