We grow organic produce for those experiencing food insecurity.
We provide Food Systems Leadership Training and horticulture education for marginalized groups and the wider community.
Through education and food production, the Giving Garden is dedicated to uplifting equitable fresh food access and food sovereignty in Alachua County.
“We love all of the greens that were given.
I’m also loving the recipe cards. They are great - the different meal ideas are a plus for my family. Today I’m going to prepare the stir fry greens recipe. I’m looking forward to more different ways to enjoy great food from the Giving Garden. Thank you so much.”

“I loved the Giving Garden! It helped me open up to new people… it also got me out of the house, and got me to learn about different plants and how to grow them. I love the Giving Garden and can’t wait until next time.”
