The goal of Growing Together Community Gardens is to create sustainable gardens in the community to address food insecurity by reaching out into the community, cultivating volunteers, mentors, and leaders who will uphold the core values of Growing Together with integrity and respect, honesty toward individuals, the community, and the earth.
Leadership

Non-Profit work

|
Our efforts are only possible with the help of wise leadership. Growing Together is lead by nine board members who make decisions about the future and direction of our program. There are also almost 30 Core Volunteers who supervise our gardens. We also employ 3-5 interns annually who learn about sustainable agriculture while developing as leaders. Pictured above are some of our 2019 Core Volunteers.

In 2019, Growing Together became a formalized non-profit in the state of North Dakota. This has helped us expand our impact through collecting donations, partnering with local businesses, and applying for grants. Would you consider supporting Growing Together with your donations?

Our Other Projects
InternsEach year, Growing Together hires 3-5 interns who grow their leadership skills at our gardens. Past interns have developed policies and procedures, supervised volunteers, helped with marketing/social media development, and more! Do you know someone who would be a good fit for this program? Send them our way!

Family GardenWe think everyone should learn to grow food and that includes our kids! We have a special family garden where kids and parents can learn about growing food together! They meet on Tuesdays, 5-7 PM at the Market Garden.
|
food pantry PartnershipsOur gardens produce thousands of pounds of food each year, much more than we can eat! Our goal is to send all leftovers to food pantries and other organizations that help feed the community. In 2020, we sent over 8,000 lbs. of food to places like Dorothy Day, Jasmine Childcare, the FM Emergency Food Pantry, Fargo/Cass Public Health, Valley Senior Services, and more.
