Home Gardener Program
We believe everyone should have access to fresh, nutritious foods on a regular basis.
That’s why we are giving away FREE garden beds to community members!
This program aims to build strong foundations for home gardeners by providing participants with all they need to succeed in growing their own highly nutritious foods.
The goal of the program is to increase food production gardens in our community. Through our Home Gardener Program, we distribute raised bed kits with soil, seeds, plant starts and more.
We will distribute raised bed kits to applicants on a first come first serve basis when applications and waivers are complete.
This program is made possible through generous funding from The Community Foundation of Western North Carolina in response to rebuilding post-Helene.
