In its initial incarnation as the Food Resiliency Action Group, the primary emphasis was the instigation, promotion and support of a network of neighborhood-based community gardens. By June 2009, there were over 20 such gardens in various stages of development. Most of these gardens are planted and harvested collectively, as opposed to the more common P-Patch model, where people have their own individual plots. These community gardens are independent entities, and Local 20/20 maintains this list as a community resource.
In addition to the community gardens, there are also the Food Bank Farm and Gardens, a number of gardens dedicated to growing and harvesting fresh, organic produce for the four Jefferson County Food Banks, which are part of the Food Bank Growers non-profit. These gardens are generally looking for more volunteers, contact them for more information.

FEED Jefferson County Map provides locations and information of School Gardens, Community Gardens, Food Bank Gardens, Farms, and Educational Sources to learn how to start your own plot.
After 10 years we have developed a truly successful community garden, with amazing soil, sound infrastructure, and impressive production, and are actively looking for new members. We encourage people to drive by on Adams St. between Blaine and Roosevelt in Uptown PT to see what we have accomplished. Consider joining us in 2023! No experience necessary and no requirement to live in the neighborhood…just energy to help, a few hours a week to participate, and enthusiasm for growing things.
