THANK YOU!

Why I give:

“Community gardens address so many vital needs, from food security to community building to teaching and modeling practices of environmental stewardship. Vermont is a national leader in the food localization movement, and the visionary work of the Vermont Community Garden Network is a key element. I know my support makes a difference.”

From our garden partners & students:

As an educator and organizer in my community I find the work of VCGN to be a tremendous resource. It’s not just the information that these folks convey, it’s how they convey it. The peer-to-peer exchange and hands on engagement are key to my positive experience at their workshops. Not only do I glean valuable growing tips and organizational strategies, but I also walk away with stories to share and ideas that translate to other areas of my job (and life!) beyond the garden.”
~ Garden Coordinator, White River Junction

“Working with VGN provided the much needed support to build a solid foundation in our first year as a community garden.”
~ New Farms for New Americans

“The Grow It! workshop was like lighting the match and setting off the fireworks.”
~ Garden Leader Workshop Participant, Bennington

“Thanks to the CTG course, I’m ready to get dirty. I don’t feel afraid to get my hands (elbows, knees, face, pants, shirt, shoes and socks) dirty – because it is all about growth. I appreciated being in a shared space – laughing, weeding, learning, and listening with a group of people who were giving it their best shot. There is something about gardening that can bring people together across a lot of communities that is pure joy.”
~ Community Teaching Garden Participant, Burlington
