The Growing Life Garden Project

The growing life garden project currently encompasses 2 counties in Southern Colorado. We currently have 17 different garden sites along with over 500 participants. We are built on the foundation to help teach a life skill to urban undeserved youth along with helping families overcome food insecurities.

Chester County Food Bank

Chester County Food Bank mobilizes the community to ensure access to real, healthy food. The Raised Bed Garden Program increases availability of fresh produce for households at risk of food insecurity by supporting garden installations at partner organizations, providing community education on growing your own food, and by fostering community around food and gardening. Partner gardens are located throughout Chester County at schools, food cupboards, and social service agencies. In 2019 we distributed 46,672 seedlings to partner gardens who collectively grew 34,676 pounds of produce.

Seedleaf

Seedleaf works to relieve food deserts in north Lexington. We educate youth and adult citizens in our 13 urban garden spaces on market gardening, sustainability, and wellness cultivating the next generation of local food producers and healthy eaters. Our urban gardens also allow the community to come and and harvest for free during the growing season. Seedleaf also provides the public with composting services. We pick up food scraps from homes and businesses and process it at our facilities to be sold as a life-giving soil supplement.
