Access to fresh, healthy and culturally appropriate food is a right!
Food security impacts not only our food system, but our entire community. The Kitchen Garden Project (KGP) partners with organizations and low-income people to create backyard and neighborhood food solutions. We connect people with the sustainable food movement by providing access to the knowledge and resources needed to grow fresh, healthy and culturally appropriate foods.
The KGP builds raised bed, double dug and container gardens with individuals, families and communities. We then provide new gardeners with seeds, starts and cover crops, free access to our extensive gardening workshop series and a connection to the greater gardening community. The KGP is committed to a gardener’s success. Since 1993, we have built over 2,500 backyard and community gardens. Follow this link for more information on applying for a KGP garden.
The KGP also helps grow healthy food, people and communities. We inspire positive personal change by bringing people together around food and agriculture. The KGP strives to build a just, sustainable food system in our community by creating nurturing leadership opportunities. KGP alumni are encouraged to build gardens with neighbors. They receive the full support and resources of the Kitchen Garden Project to help neighbors become successful KGP gardeners.
