Growing Power is an urban agriculture group based in Milwaukee that has provided safe, affordable and healthy foods to its communities since 1993. Our projects are typically gardens located at sites where partner organizations have asked us to build a garden for the community.
The purpose of the projects is not only to feed the communities where the gardens are located, but also to educate neighbors about the benefits of growing your own.
We always welcome volunteers.
