Home and community gardens provide numerous benefits to Vermont communities. They can increase food security, physical and mental health, pollinator and wildlife habitats, and community connections. We also believe that gardens provide excellent learning opportunities for Vermonters of all ages.
We train volunteers using science-based information to improve their gardening and environmental stewardship knowledge and skills. Our volunteers then give back to their local communities by providing education to help all Vermonters garden and compost better. Our vision is to cultivate resilient, healthy communities and ecosystems as the most trusted resource for horticulture education in Vermont.
