Grow Me Green Gardens

Explore Toledo’s new wicking-bed garden and help grow fresh food and opportunity at the Douglass Community Center!
About this Event

Grow Me Green Gardens is an in-person community garden initiative for Toledo locals.

The initiative at the Douglass Community Center is underway, setting up high-efficiency sub-irrigation wicking beds to grow fresh produce, provide hands-on agricultural training for youth, and create a vibrant neighborhood space. Help us grow fresh food and opportunity by adopting a bed. Sponsorships fund materials, soil, sub-irrigation infrastructure, and ongoing garden maintenance. Individuals, families, local businesses, and community organizations are welcome to sponsor.
