GROWS

West Side saint paul community garden

Growing Resilience on the West Side (GROWS) is a coalition between organizations and individuals on the West Side that are working on food justice.  Access to healthy food is not equally distributed in our neighborhood or city, and removing some of those barriers by growing food locally also results in increased community connection and resilience in the face of climate change. 

If you’d like to get involved in growing food on the West Side, we’ve got several communal gardens you can participate in. these are different from community gardens (which often mean that individuals have their own plots and others are meant to keep out).  In communal gardens, anyone can help us work the land, and anyone can take food that wants or needs it.  We’re working on a map that will be published soon, and will have some community meals, wisdom-sharing sessions, and a Fall Harvest Festival upcoming. Stay tuned!

Coalition partners include WSCO, Youth Farm, the West Side Farmers Market, the Seed Library, Humboldt and OWL, West Side Free Farm Stand Network, and many dedicated community members!
