The goal of Jovial Gardens is to help food insecure neighborhoods meet their own produce needs, educate communities about nutrition and sustainability, all while strengthening the community. Your garden will lower the amount you spend on produce, feed families in need, and provide school credits to local youth while teaching them valuable life skills. By hosting a Jovial Garden you will increase your access to fresh organic produce and also help provide food to families who need it most. Jovial Gardens will provide you free gardening and cooking classes, community potlucks and parties, garden care experts to set up your garden, seedlings, garden boxes, and garden maintenance (weeding, watering, and harvesting). In return for our services, you will receive one mixed box of produce each month during harvesting season and be expected to participate in making your neighborhood more sustainable.
