Our Mission

The Youth Garden Project cultivates healthy children, families, and community through educational programs and connecting people with food from seed to table.

The food we grow informs and inspires our educational practice, and also nourishes our community! Find out where the food from our 1.5 acre garden ends up.

We use the garden as a cross-discipline learning tool that connects kids to the environment and our local food system! Learn more about our youth programming.

Gardening not only builds soil, it also builds community! A garden nurtures many forms of connection. Learn how you can be a part of our community at the youth garden.

FREE VEGGIES! There are free zucchini, cucumber, tomato, basil, and ground cherries out in the cooler on the bike path right now in front of the beautiful community nibble garden!

The Community Nibble Garden is right across the bike path from the Youth Garden Project's other growing spaces. We also have more tomatoes and basil ready to harvest out there, so come by and pick your own. Be mindful not to venture your harvesting over the rope line, where we grow vegetables for our other awesome programs like Weed and Feeds, Summer camp, and our Community-supported agriculture program. Don't forget about this awesome resource in our community! Enjoy!

For those who would like to support us in being able to get fresh free veggies to our youth and the community, please consider purchasing produce and other garden goodies from us through our online shop! https://www.youthgardenproject.org/produce-for-sale/

Free zucchini at the YGP Nibble Garden! 🥳 Swing by on the bike path and grab some out of the cooler today. We're working on getting some zucchini recipe cards out there, too 😋

The Nibble Garden is free for anyone to come harvest from anytime; it seems zucchini's are always the ones being left behind, so keep your eyes out in the future 👀 Zucchinis and yellow squash are ready to harvest when they are about 6" in length!
