Community Garden Partnership

The Community Garden Partnership has 6 garden rental programs and 4 teaching garden
programs. Starting as a pilot project in 1999 the Community Garden Partnership continues
its mission of "Growing food, people and communities". The basic premise of developing
an agrarian skill base for our communities to secure their local food economy is the vision
that keeps our rental sites affordable to all. We have gardens in 3 counties and encourage
you to visit our webpage at www.goodwillncw.org.
