Front Yard Garden Fund

The Front Yard Garden Fund's mission is to help provide knowledge, materials, skills, and assistance to people who would like to start growing their own food on any scale, from a large plot to a few pots. We provide services, like helping plant, weed, and cook with food from the garden; information, like about soil, climate, planting, compost, and the benefits of growing food; and the actual materials, like seeds, compost, and hoes, to interested clients. Our goal is to spread our passion of locally grown, organic vegetable gardening, inspired by our own front yard garden experience, with those who have an interest but lack the funds, motivation, would like some camaraderie or assistance with their garden, or haven't yet discovered the greatness of gardens. The totality of these goals can be summed in four tiers; nutrition, taste, knowledge, and pride, all of which we strongly believe can be attained by tending to a vegetable garden, whatever the size. It is our hope that the Front Yard Garden Fund will help create gardens that nourish the self, community, and world, by investing in the earth we live on.
