We Garden Communities
This season we have over 100 community gardens growing in Buffalo and Niagara Falls. 30 of our gardens are school gardens and we work with gardeners across the lifespan. Your donation today supports our ability to grow healthy communities. Each year, we invest approximately $75,000 back into the community gardens in the form of cedar lumber for raised beds, organic soil, organic plants, liability insurance, tools, and more!
We are conservatively growing around 35,000lbs. of food annually and recent data suggests for every 1 gardener, 5 people in the home are being fed with produce from the gardens. 10% of our network is strictly ornamental and these gardens are an important source of neighborhood revitalization, and green spaces for rest and healing, as well as urban habitat.
We invite you to visit us the next two weekends for East Side Garden Walk and Garden Walk Buffalo to see the impact your donation makes! Thank you!
Grassroots Gardens WNY is a dedicated group of community activists and gardeners. Our mission is to share knowledge, power, and resources to grow healthy food, heal systemic harm, and strengthen neighborhood connections through community gardens.
