COMMUNITY GARDENS

Feel the Difference: Grow Your Own Food!

Feeding Laramie Valley has been working with local communities to bring fresh, healthy food to Albany County since 2009. Our community gardens are designed to not only provide space and resources for local gardeners to grow their own fresh food, but to provide an attractive, inspirational and educational resource for all visitors and Albany County residents.

Did you know that a single, 4'x8' raised bed can provide the fresh produce needs for two people for a full growing season? Growing your own food provides health benefits through staying active, avoiding the need for chemical pesticides and fertilizers, and eating foods as soon as they're harvested for full nutritive value. It's also better for the environment since it bypasses long-distance transportation. Best of all, it's cost-effective and fun to boot!

Feeding Laramie Valley has two Community Gardens in Laramie open for plot stewards to reserve raised beds for a small annual fee:

What is a plot steward?

A plot steward assumes responsibility for one or more raised beds each growing season. Plot stewards are responsible for the food production, harvest, and maintenance of the raised bed they reserve. Feeding Laramie Valley is committed to accessibility and diversity. We especially encourage individuals who are not familiar with personal gardening to become involved as garden plot stewards and invite you to be in touch with the coordinators for any assistance or guidance you might need.
