Grow Gainesville
Urban gardens are growing in neighborhoods across Alachua County: in backyards and community gardens, and at schools and community centers. They provide us with fresh, nutritious produce, right outside our front and back doors, and help to increase food security in our community while beautifying neighborhoods.
With this in mind, Florida Organic Growers funded by the Alachua Community Agency Partnership Program, is working with community partners including Slow Food Gainesville, Abundant Edible Landscapes, Edible Plant Project, Santa Fe College, University of Florida, and many others, to form Grow Gainesville, an urban gardening network.
Grow Gainesville's Mission: "to increase our community's ability to produce and share food grown in urban gardens by facilitating the networking of gardeners, resources and information in a way that is easily affordable and accessible to all."
