Each spring, our Foodscapes Garden Project (FGP) connects Mainers experiencing low income with the tools needed to start growing their own food. Through the FGP, we partner with families to build raised-bed vegetable gardens at their homes & offer ongoing gardening mentorship. We also partner to build on-site community vegetable gardens with local organizations serving clients vulnerable to food insecurity. Each FGP garden includes up to three 4x8 raised beds, filled with high quality compost/soil and accompanied by organic seeds/seedlings to begin the growing season. Since our founding, we have proudly served over 400 individuals through our work installing over 350 raised vegetable garden beds for 121 households & organizations across 51 towns within Cumberland, Oxford, York, & Androscoggin counties. We have received over 1500 garden applications and look forward to building our capacity and work with community partners to meet this need. In addition to the FGP, Maine Foodscapes also offers ongoing educational and therapeutic programming in garden-based settings for youth and seniors, and hosts regular cooking, planting, & wellness workshops / events open to the community.
