Backyard Growers is dedicated to cultivating community by growing food together. We have built hundreds of garden beds across Gloucester at schools, in backyards, at public parks, and community organizations. Our programs are filled with people from all walks of life: low to moderate income families putting fresh veggies on their tables from our community gardens, volunteer mentors helping seniors grow food in their backyards, and people learning new skills and teaching others. In schools, our work is about a generation of kids growing up planting, harvesting and eating their own school-grown food. Our programs impact over 2,000 kids in Gloucester Public Schools, where we maintain nine school gardens with 74 raised garden beds, resulting in 1,000 lbs of veggies in school cafeterias annually. Keep growing, keep eating fresh, delicious food, keep working together, and we'll see you in the garden!
