The Garden Project was started in 1983 by early organizers of the Greater Lansing Food Bank who wanted to create a longer-term solution to the problem of hunger and to promote gardening as a vehicle for community development. Initial emphasis on growing for food pantries has shifted to a focus on families’ growing for their own household use. Gardener participation has grown each season and we now work with over 2,500 households. In the last several years, the Garden Project network has blossomed to 125+ community garden sites over a 7-county region, with over 33 acres in production. The network includes school and church gardens as well as gardens at housing complexes, community centers and allotment style gardens where families are growing their own food.
