Grow Local | GARDENS

SFC's Grow Local program offers the resources and education to enable children and adults in Central Texas to develop skills in food production and organic gardening as well as understanding of the importance of local food production for the health and well-being of themselves, their families and community, and the environment.


	OVERVIEW GARDENS GET GROWING GARDENING RESOURCES SPREAD THE HARVEST SPROUTING HEALTHY KIDS HOME

It's important that everyone have the opportunity to reap the benefits of growing one's own food in a garden — wherever that may be. In addition to providing support for community and youth gardens, Grow Local is enthusiastic about helping gardeners dig into the soil in their own backyards, church yards, office building lawns — wherever your imagination takes you.

If you'd like to grow your own food, but don't have adequate space or sunlight, consider planting in a community garden. Refer to the map below to find the community garden closest to you. If you don't find one near you, or if the garden in your area is full, team up with neighbors to start your own community garden.
