The Greenhouse Project

The Greenhouse Project To volunteer, please contact us at [email protected]. Since our first harvest in 2012 - a beautiful crop of lettuce - TGP has grown.

The Greenhouse Project (TGP) is a nonprofit with a mission of providing healthy produce for the food insecure residents in our community. Green Central, which is our main site, is located at Carson High School and offers work-based learning for the students. Here, we have added an outdoor classroom, and a Native Plant Nursery & Composting Program. The goal of the Native Plant Nursery & Composting

Program is to expand TGP’s teaching diversity and to provide funding streams to ensure TGP’s work continues long into the future. TGP also includes Foothill Garden, which is a collaborative project with, and located at, Carson Tahoe Health campus. We also continue to offer our gleaning program, and provide flower baskets each summer to Downtown Carson City. Our gratitude to the community for its continued support through the years.

August harvests are filling our baskets to the brim 🍅

Over 2,000 pounds of produce has come out of our gardens so far this year and landed in the hands of those in our community who need it the most. So proud of our team who makes it all happen! ✨

“There can be no other occupation like gardening in which, if you were to creep up behind someone at their work, you would find them smiling.” – Mirabel Osler

Lots of smiles here today as we harvested the colors of the rainbow. All this beautiful produce will be donated to two of our local partner organizations as we help fight food insecurity in our community.

What a fun time! We’ve been partnering with Carson City’s Master Gardeners to bring free and educational classes to our community members!

During the last 2 months we had a pollinator class and a “weird gardening” class.

We had an absolute blast last week with the campers that joined us for our first Summer Day camp of the year!

They helped us harvest, feed the worms, do fun gardening crafts and games, and even helped us donate the weeks’ produce to one of our community partners!

We are so grateful to be partnering with Carson City Parks and Rec to get more kids into the garden!

Our next camp is August 5th & 6th! DM us or go to www.carsoncitygreenhouse.org to learn more and register your kids!

Always so happy to come across beneficial insects on our garden! These are green lacewing eggs along the leaf margin of collard greens, one of the crops that often gets hit hard by aphids out in our hoop house. Once the hungry, alligator-looking larvae hatch, each one can eat 100 aphids a day. They will also go after other pests like thrips, spider mites, leaf miners, and leaf hopper eggs. Hopefully saving us from having to pull up or spray the infested plants. Perhaps you could look at them as free labor.

I find watching all of the natural cycles of bugs to be one of the most fun (and sometimes most frustrating) parts of growing with organic methods. Often telling new crew members that we’re doing more than just growing crops - we’re building an ecosystem. One of the main reasons you’ll always see flowers and herbs incorporated in all of our growing spaces is to attract beneficial insects!

So much fun in the gardens!

Our first session of garden camp is next week (July 8th & 9th) and some spots are still open! Over the two days, kids will get a chance to tour our gardens, learn harvesting and growing techniques, play garden-related games, and get their hands dirty in our composting worm bin. We had so much fun running this program last summer and are so excited to do it again!

We will also be hosting a second session August 5th & 6th. Go to the Carson City Parks & Rec site to sign up and find more information: https://anc.apm.activecommunities.com/ccpr/activity/search/detail/11105?onlineSiteId=0&locale=en-US&from_original_cui=true
