Gardening Matters

Submitted by Femke Hoekstra on Mon, 07/23/2007 - 09:40

GardenWorks (now Gardening Matters) is a program of The Green Institute. Our mission is to promote and preserve community gardening throughout the Twin Cities metro area by connecting community gardeners to each other and to the communities in which they reside. We believe that community gardeners are the best experts on community gardening. Answers to many dilemmas faced by community garden groups have already been faced by other community gardeners. 

Our Goals:

  • To strengthen networking between community garden groups
  • To strengthen internal functioning of community gardens
  • To improve public relations for community gardens
  • To foster partnerships between the gardening community and public and private sectors
  • To assist with the establishment of new community gardens
