Our Vision Statement
After a Gather and Grow experience, children will be in touch with the South Phoenix ancestral legacy of gardening. They will possess skills that they can choose to take into the job market, and they will have developed safe and healthy coping mechanisms that will help them when encountering life’s adversities. The experience above will result in producing humans who are driven to be civically engaged and positive contributors to their community and society as a whole.
Call For Volunteers
Gather and Grow cannot create memories and experiences without help from the community. From creating seed packets, fixing a garden bed, or even just sharing a social media post to help spread the word, we need your help!
