We are back!
For several weeks, Growing Hope Gardens had to close the farm after serious physical assaults, vandalism and threats were made against members of our team. To protect our employees, interns, volunteers and community, we immediately paused all farm access. The individual responsible is now in custody, and it is safe for our community to return.
🌱💚🥒 you can join in to help us catch of farm needs, and learn about food growing. 🥦🌽🥗🥕
Every Tuesday, Wednesday & Saturday, 9-11 no signup needed.
We are deeply grateful to reopen the farm and welcome our community back!
During the five-week closure, we lost crops and seedlings and fell behind on essential watering, planting, harvesting and maintenance. We also had to suspend programs that provide food, education and connection for our community.
We are now inviting neighbors, volunteers, organizations and local businesses to help us restore the farm, replant growing areas and restart our programs.
We are sharing this because our community deserves an honest explanation. This reopening is about moving forward together and restoring a place where people grow food, learn, volunteer, connect and care for one another.
