Collective Community Garden

Growing food empowers our communities, but it can be hard to start. Joining a GrowTeam for 2-4 hours a week sets you up with access to land and a garden mentor. Our local GrowTeam will be at Stowe Community Garden, and there is a BIPOC GrowTeam in Winooski. GrowTeams are open to the community, and the most important requirement is that folks are excited to learn to grow food for themselves. Sign up and get more information.
