Learn to garden at home this summer with our new Home Grown garden starter kits. You’ll receive a planter, soil and three seed packets – everything you and your family need to start growing your first garden, free of charge. This program is ideal for residents who are without a yard, or have mobility issues.

The kit includes:

• A small planter
• Planting soil
• 3 seed packets (lettuce, chives, radishes)

Registration is closed for the season.

Your kit includes instructions for planting your seeds. If you have questions or need support along the way, see the gardening tips and resources below. We hope you find them helpful throughout your gardening journey!
