Duluth  Community Garden Program

The Duluth Community Garden Program provides land, infrastructure, and support for local communities to grow food together.

We create opportunities for everyone to garden -  regardless of experience, income, neighborhood, or other barriers - and have been doing so for over 40 years. Our initial vision of turning vacant lots into productive gardens has grown into 250+ garden plots at 20 different garden sites.

Our goal is to raise $5,000 on Give to the Max Day this year. As a small nonprofit organization, we could not do our work without donations from community members like you, who know the numerous joys and benefits that gardening provides, and believe that everyone deserves access to the land and resources necessary to garden. Over 70% of our gardeners identify as low-income, and garden to supplement fresh, nutritious vegetables into their family's diets. Your gifts help ensure that we are able to maintain and improve our garden infrastructure, provide gardening tools and food preservation equipment, and provide educational resources to support gardener success, all while offering our services on a sliding scale. 

Your support subsidizes the cost of garden plots for DCGP, which in turn gives local families the opportunity to grow their own food in community. Thank you!
