Resources for YOUR Garden

The Garden Resource Program is an effort to provide hundreds of home, school and community gardens access to resources and information in order to empower Detroit residents to grow, harvest, prepare, and preserve food for their families in their backyards and neighborhoods. Participants in the program receive basic resources for their garden, including seeds and Detroit grown transplants.  Participants also become part of a growing network of community, school and family gardeners and garden advocates working to promote and encourage urban agriculture and community gardening across the city.  Through participation in this larger network, gardeners gain access to additional resources, technical assistance, and educational opportunities.

For a nominal fee, participants receive quality seeds and plants for their garden, subscription to the Detroit Farmer's Quarterly Newsletter and opportunities to access additional resources and participate in other valuable educational series and training workshops. In 2008, over 169 community gardens, 40 schools and 359 families received support from the  Garden Resource Program. Through the program, participants received 32,320 seed packets and approximately 129,360 DETROIT GROWN plants and successfully produced thousands of pounds of food in the city.
